International Law from a Baltic Perspective
Editor:
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the
Baltic Yearbook of International Law, this volume contains a selection of articles chosen by the editors to showcase the Yearbook’s important contribution to international legal scholarship and practice. It thus offers ground-breaking articles within several areas of international law, including international humanitarian law, international human rights law, peaceful settlement of disputes, European Union law, and the history of international law. Naturally, issues relevant to the international legal status of the Baltic States and the consequences of their occupation by the Soviet Union are also explored, as well as questions relevant to transitional justice and the collapse of communism. Finally, articles on new areas, such as bioethics and cyberspace, are also included, showing where the development of science prompts the need for legal regulation. This wide-ranging selection reflects the Yearbook’s aim to offer a unique forum among international legal periodicals - where the past meets the future.
Ineta Ziemele is a professor at the Riga Graduate School of Law. She is President of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Latvia. She is a co-Editor in Chief of the
Baltic Yearbook of International Law (Brill/Nijhoff).
