Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines the evolution and application of international law, with a particular focus on historical perspectives, regional legal developments, and the challenges of implementing international legal frameworks. It explores how concepts like "Second World Approaches to International Law" (SWAIL) and "Third World Approaches to International Law" (TWAIL) offer critical lenses for understanding international legal history and contemporary issues. The journal also addresses the effectiveness of international law in areas such as refugee protection, combating genocide and ecocide, safeguarding international personnel, and addressing disinformation, often through case studies and analysis of institutional practices.
