Call for Papers

The Latin American Network of International Law Journals, Conference II (RELAREDI 2016)

Lima, Peru, October 27 and 28, 2016

The Pontificia Catholic University of Peru (PUCP) with the support of the Mexican International Law Yearbook (AMDI) and the Latin American Network of International Law (RELAREDI) calls for the submission of papers for the Latin American Network of International Law’s second Conference (RELAREDI 2016) to be held in Lima, Peru on Thursday, October 27 and Friday, October 28, 2016.

The Latin American Network of International Law (RELAREDI) aims to establish a mechanism for dialogue and co-operation between journals and publications that specialise in international issues, and the region’s practitioners and academics who seek to publish their work in the region. RELAREDI seeks to position itself at the heart of academic reflection and the diffusion of work on International Law undertaken in the region and beyond.

RELAREDI also seeks to promote the inclusion of International Law issues in existing journals and support nascent publications in the field, recognising doctrine as an auxiliary means for the determination of the international rule of law, in accordance with Article 38 of the Statue of the International Court of Justice, to promote the production of content from Latin America that responds to the region’s problems and concerns from its own, critical viewpoint.
