The Irish Yearbook of International Law supports research into Ireland's practice in international affairs and foreign policy, filling a gap in existing legal scholarship.
This new volume covers the years 2021 and 2022, including global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit fall-out, the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan, a civil war in Ethiopia, protests in Iran, and Russia’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine. Reports also cover topics on human rights in Ireland, the law of the sea, the exploitation of mineral resources of celestial bodies by private enterprises and the protection of the right to food, among others.
Additionally, the book includes four book reviews covering a range of international law subjects, such as international economic law, colonialism and the protection of animals in armed conflict.
Peer-reviewed academic articles and book reviews on general issues of international law.
In the Yearbook, beyond items of a general nature, designated correspondents provide reports on: international law developments in Ireland; Irish practice in international fora and the European Union; and relations between the North and the South of Ireland. In addition, the Yearbook reproduces documents that reflect Irish practice on contemporary issues of international law.
Publication of The Irish Yearbook of International Law makes Irish practice and opinio juris more readily available to Governments, academics and international bodies when determining the content of international law. In providing a forum for the documentation and analysis of North-South relations the Yearbook makes an important contribution to post-conflict and transitional justice studies internationally.
As a matter of editorial policy, the Yearbook seeks to promote a multilateral approach to international affairs, reflecting and reinforcing Ireland's long-standing commitment to multilateralism as a core element of foreign relations.
