Call for Papers
The following journals are currently calling for papers
African Yearbook on International Humanitarian Law
The African Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law (AYIHL) is issuing a call for papers on all topics of international humanitarian law, international criminal law and transitional justice. Articles should have a link to Africa and be of particular relevance to Africa.
Whereas scholars are invited to contribute on any topic within the themes of AYIHL, the focus of the next volume will be ‘Disproportionally in Conflict’.
Scholars are invited to submit papers that examine the ways in which the laws pertaining to war and the prosecution of international crimes have disproportional impacts and effects, with a focus on recent, current and ongoing conflicts. Disproportionality can be interpreted widely and can include theoretical exploration on the principle of proportionality. Key themes include the legal threshold of excessive harm, evolving urban warfare tactics, the prosecution of inflicting excessive harm and the role of emerging technologies.
A webinar on this topic is planned for late February 2027.
Papers can be sent to Mia Swart, the Editor-in-Chief at swart@eth.mpg.de or miaswart19@gmail.com
The style guidelines can be found here: https://www.jutajournals.co.za/ayih-style-guide/
Submission date: 30 September 2026
