The Asian Yearbook of International Law provides a forum for the publication of articles in the field of international law written by experts from the region, and also other articles relating to Asian topics. Its aim is twofold: to promote the dissemination of knowledge of international law in Asia and to provide an insight into Asian views and practices, which will be especially useful to a non-Asian readership.
As a rule, each volume of the Asian Yearbook will contain the following sections:
Articles
Notes
State Practice
Chronicle of Events and Incidents
United Nations Activities with Special Relevance to Asia
Survey of Activities of the Asian-African Legal Consultative Committee
Bibliography
Documents
