Call for Papers: International Law-Making and the United Nations – New York City, NY

The AALS Section on International Law invites papers for its program at the AALS 2014 Annual Meeting in New York, New York. The topic of the program and call for papers is International Law-Making and the United Nations. “This panel will explore contemporary developments, processes and controversies in international law-making by the United Nations. The presenter chosen through this call for papers will join several high-level United Nations legal experts who bring deep experience from a number of UN bodies.”

Eligible faculty members are invited to submit manuscripts or detailed abstracts dealing with any aspect of the foregoing topic. Detailed abstracts should be comprehensive enough to allow the committee to meaningfully evaluate the aims and likely content of papers proposed. Papers may be accepted for publication but must not be published prior to the Annual Meeting.

Deadline: September 10, 2013. Submit papers to international[@]vermontlaw.edu. The subject of the email should read: “Submission for AALS Section on International Law.” The initial review of the papers and abstracts will be blind, and will be conducted by members of the section’s executive committee. In order to facilitate blind review, please identify yourself and your institutional affiliation only in the cover letter accompanying your manuscript, and not in the manuscript itself. The submitting author is responsible for taking any steps necessary to redact self-identifying text or footnotes. im
