Note to Contributors
The African Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law (Yearbook) invites submission of manuscripts, in English or French, on subjects relating to international humanitarian law, policy and action. A manuscript will be considered for publication:
● only on the assurance that it has not in whole or in part or in substance been published or offered for publication elsewhere;
● on the understanding that it may be submitted in confidence to an expert referee or expert referees for evaluation;
● on the understanding that the editors reserve the right to make what changes they consider desirable
(a) to bring the manuscript into the house style of the Yearbook;
(b) to eliminate errors of typing, grammar, syntax, punctuation, spelling, idiom and the like;
(c) to eliminate ambiguity, illogicality, tautology, circumlocution and redundancy;
(d) to produce accuracy and coherence;
(e) to improve the mode of expression and style of writing;
(f) to avoid possible criminal or civil liability.
Authors are required to read their manuscripts very carefully to avoid the need for the editors to exercise these rights extensively. In particular, authors are asked to acquaint themselves with the house style of the Yearbook and to review hard copies of their work to ensure quality before submission.
