Military Law and Law of War Review

• Edward Elgar Publishing is proud to announce an exciting new collaboration with the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War to publish The Military Law and the Law of War Review / Revue de Droit Militaire et de Droit de la Guerre (MLLWR).
• MLLWR is a long-established journal with a rich history of specialisation in matters of interest for both legal scholars and civilian and military legal advisors. It features original and challenging articles, case notes, commentaries of the latest legal developments, as well as book reviews.
• For its coming issues (Vol 58 – 1 and 2) – the first to be published pursuant to a new partnership agreement with Edward Elgar Publishing – the Review’s editorial board welcomes submissions that come within the broader scope of the Review, including military law, law of armed conflict, law on the use of force, as well as international criminal law and human rights law (inasmuch as related to situations of armed conflict).
• The deadline for submission is 1 July 2020. Submissions should be sent to mllwr [at] ismllw [dot] org and will be subject to double-blind peer review.
• Articles should normally not be longer than 15,000 words (footnotes included), although longer pieces may exceptionally be considered.
• Inquiries as to whether a possible submission comes within the scope of the Review can be sent to the above mentioned email address.
• This first Elgar issue will be launched in print and online in Autumn 2020.
