Posts published in “International Law”

Since 2007, the International Law Observer has provided information and commentary on international law subjects and has regularly been rated as one of the best blogs in its field. To maintain both the quality and outreach, we are looking to enrol long-term contributors to our blog and therefore invite relevant applications. Interested colleagues are required to have a PhD or be enrolled in a PhD program in international law, broadly construed. We expect contributors to publish 2-4 blogposts per month on various topics of international law. If interested, please submit a short CV of approx. two pages and a letter of motivation to our e-mail address.

New material has been added:

Under the link "International Law Resources" above, readers can now find relevant resources for teachers (Teaching Materials), researchers (Open Access Publishing), and students (Student-Led Journals). This material will be expanded over time.
