Völkerrechtsblog is taking a short mid-year break until 14 September 2026. While new submissions will have to wait until we’re back, our Festschrift (click here) is ready to keep you company. Available in print and as a free open-access edition, it might just make the perfect summer read. Please also consider submitting a blog post to our upcoming symposium on ‘Antiguas doctrinas, nuevas batallas’ (click here).
Völkerrechtsblog is an academic blog on all matters of public international law and international legal thought. We welcome contributions from all around the globe on these topics.
Theresa is studying International Relations and Law (B.A.) at the University of Erfurt. As a student assistant to Prof. Dr. Michael Riegner, she joined Völkerrechtsblog in March 2025.
