Authors from the region are strongly encouraged to submit their works.

A part of the forthcoming volume will be dedicated to the legal problems emerging in the context of the current Russian invasion of Ukraine. Papers may discuss any relevant aspects, especially including those which relate to general international law, international humanitarian law, international economic law, international criminal law and human rights protection. Submissions dealing with other problems that are relevant in the context of the current events are also welcome. Again, PYIL is particularly interested in the insights of researchers from the CEE region.

Submissions should not exceed 10,000 words (including footnotes) but in exceptional cases we may also accept longer works. We assess the manuscripts we receive on a rolling basis.

All details about the submission procedure and required formatting are available at the PYIL’s webpage (https://pyil.inp.pan.pl).

He was one of the representatives of Poland during the work on the Convention on the Law of the Sea, an expert on the human dimension of the OSCE, and a conciliator of the Montego Bay Convention. Prof. Symonides was also Director of the Polish Institute of International Affairs and Director of the then Division of Human Rights, Democracy, Peace and Tolerance at UNESCO. PYIL is particularly interested in papers that discuss the ideas that preoccupied Prof. Symonides, analyze his scientific achievements, or deal with other issues relating to his academic and diplomatic work.

PYIL also accepts other texts that fall within the its scope of interest. In this context PYIL is particularly interested in articles that address current issues of public international law and EU law that relate to Central and Eastern Europe. Authors from the region are also strongly encouraged to submit their works.

Submissions should be between 7,000 and 9,000 words (including footnotes). All details about submission procedure and required formatting are available at the PYIL’s webpage in the document entitled “Publication Guidelines” (http://www.pyil.inp.pan.pl/).
