General Editor Professor Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo

The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence: Global Law— Politics— Ethics— Justice (GCYILJ, Yearbook) provides an authoritative, comprehensive, and unique annual review of the most significant legal transformations worldwide, covering a vast range of global legal issues and developments before international courts and tribunals. Its philosophy is rooted in a global perspective, transcending sectoral and spatial confines, and is unprecedented in subject, methodology, and research. Its scope is closely linked to an annual monitoring process that tracks the construction of a global community. This involves examining the implications for law (specifically global constitutional principles), justice, governance, and ethics, which are the “key identifiers” of a legal community.

Editorial Board Managing Editor

“The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence has, since its founding, become the most important source of reference on global legal issues, which necessarily covers an enormous range of issues and more particularly developments before international tribunals.”
- M. Cherif Bassiouni, DePaul University, College of Law

“A very useful publication, one that retains its focus on relevant global developments in international law while being extensive in the issues it covers, and this makes it different from other similar publications.”
- Malgosia Fitzmaurice, Department of Law, University of London

Celebrating the Launch of the Revamped Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence: Global Law— Politics— Ethics—Justice

GCYILJ, a comprehensive reference guide on global law and governance, preserves some basic insights from earlier models, though with significant refinements to its composition, scope, and format. The revamping includes the establishment of a new worldwide editorial board to ensure truly global coverage, an increase in the number of international courts and tribunals covered, and increased attention on the role of both “ethics” and “politics” in the global legal system. This has been emphasized by the addition of a subtitle: Global Law, Politics, Ethics, Justice.
