Call for Papers for 2011 Yearbook
The New Zealand Yearbook of International Law, launched in June 2004, is an annual, internationally refereed publication intended to stand as a reference point for legal materials and critical commentary on issues of public international law. The Yearbook serves as a valuable tool in the determination of trends, state practice and policies in the development of international law in New Zealand, the Pacific region, the Southern Ocean and Antarctica and to generate scholarship in those fields. In this regard the Yearbook contains an annual ‘Year-in-Review’ of developments in international law of particular interest to New Zealand as well as dedicated sections to the South Pacific and to Antarctica.
The current Editor of the Yearbook is Karen N. Scott (University of Canterbury, NZ) and Natalie Baird (University of Canterbury, NZ) is the Associate Editor. The Editors are advised by members of the Advisory Board who are leading New Zealand - based and international academics and practitioners within the field of international law.
The Editorial Board calls for both short notes and commentaries, and longer in-depth articles, for publication in the 2011 edition of the Yearbook. Notes and commentaries should be between 3,000 – 7,000 words. Articles may be from 8,000 to 20,000 words.
The Editorial Board seeks contributions on any issue of public international law. The Board is particularly interested in receiving submissions that are relevant to New Zealand, Australasia, the Pacific, the Southern Ocean and Antarctica.
The closing date for submissions is 1 May 2012.
Submissions should be provided in English, using MSWord-compatible word processing software, and delivered by email to the General Editor at nzyil@canterbury.ac.nz.
Contributions must be original unpublished works and submission of contributions will be held to imply this. Manuscripts must be word-processed and in compliance with the New Zealand Law Style Guide. The Guide is available online here.
