The
Yearbook of Legal Practices and International Organizations (YLPIO) is an Open Access, annual law journal, focused on the legal practices, laws and conventions both governing and enabling all international organizations. YLPIO investigates and analyses legal practices broadly, interrogating long-established interpretations, challenging canonical convictions, and employing myriad contexts—governance, political, jurisdictional and operational—to advance a progressive and dynamic understanding of international organizations.
YLPIO examines international organizations of all formats—from classical treaty-based institutions to entities only attributed privileges and immunities—encompassing the diverse hybridity of funds, programmes, facilities and secretariats. It considers the myriad functionalities of international organizations, together with exploring commonalities of their governance, membership, international legal status and privileges and immunities.
YLPIO interrelates the internal activity, external actions and accountability of all international organizations, combining scholarship with practical significance.
Editorially, YLPIO is constituted by an editor-in-chief, managing editor and Advisory Board. The Advisory Board comprises distinguished academic lawyers and jurists, with expertise in international organizations law; its primary function is to secure the distinctiveness, impartiality and intellectual rigor of YLPIO.
YLPIO welcomes the following types of submissions:
•
Articles: The balance of YLPIO is comprised of Articles, featuring several recurring strands: symposiums to examine multiple aspects of a common, important and topical theme; the mandate achievement and accountability of international organizations, including financing, governance, operations, integrity and dispute resolution facilities; the assertion of privileges and immunities by international organizations—before national and international courts and tribunals—and other consequences of their international legal status; and the examination of controversies concerning the rights and obligations of the international civil service. All Articles must exhibit scholastic integrity and must pass editorial review and double-blind peer review. Maximum length: 12,000 words.
•
Reports: Within Reports, YLPIO publicizes developments in the legal practices of international organizations, in such formats as case notes, conference reports and comparable materials. Reports also provide a venue for position papers, proposing new and reformed legal practices. Reports must be clearly and accessibly written and pass editorial review. Maximum length: 10,000 words.
The independence and Open Access basis of YLPIO are secured by funding from international organizations and international law firms. Funders are recognized by membership of YLPIO’s Board of Patrons, co-chaired by Eli Whitney Debevoise II and Miguel de Serpa Soares.
