Call for papers for Volume 11 (2020) of the Czech Yearbook of Public & Private International Law (CYIL)

The Czech Yearbook of Public & Private International Law invites contributions to its volume 11 (2020).

2020 is the year of several important anniversaries. We have selected the 70 years of the European Convention on Human Rights (1950) in the context of general international law, as the profile topic for this volume. However, the Special Issue may also reflect upon the international legal aspects of the events which occurred in 1920, when the League of Nations and the Permanent Court of International Justice commenced their work, and to consider the legacy that these events have, or have not, left in international law.

Authors both from the Czech Republic and from other countries are invited to submit their abstracts by 20 April 2020 and full contributions by 31 May 2020.  The recommended length of articles is 10 to 15 pages (Times New Roman font, line-spacing 1.5). The articles should contain a short abstract in English, for the Czech speaking authors, also a short abstract in Czech (max. 10 lines for each of them). Authors are encouraged to follow the style of the previous issues of the journal.

The Czech Yearbook of Public & Private International Law is a peer-reviewed English-language journal published by the Czech Society of International Law, acting in cooperation with the Czech Branch of the International Law Association.

The first volume appeared in September 2010. Since 2014, the Czech Yearbook has been included in the Czech index of scholarly peer-reviewed journals (RVVI). In 2015, it was included in the SCOPUS database. The Yearbook appears both online and in the printed version.
