By concentrating on issues connected with the UN and its initiatives, the UNYB aims to facilitate an understanding of the changes the UN has been undergoing since its foundation.

Articles featured in the UNYB either relate to ‘The Law and Practice of the United Nations’ or ‘Legal Issues Related to the Goals of the United Nations’. The UNYB addresses both scholars and practitioners, giving them insights into the workings, challenges and evolution of the UN.
