ArmJIL is open to publishing articles ongeneral international law and comparative law, including international humanitarian law,international dispute resolution (including arbitration), current issues related to theinternational protection of human rights, and state responsibility, as well as original issuesrelating to any aspect of international law and interdisciplinary approaches to internationallaw (political science, international relations, economic analysis of international law).ArmJIL intends to serve as a bridge between the Armenian legal scholarship and leadinginternational debates, enabling local scholars and practitioners to engage with andcontribute to cutting-edge global discourse. The publication will enhance academicstandards, support the training of emerging researchers, and reinforce the role of YerevanState University as a regional hub for excellence in international legal research and thoughtleadership.The creation of ArmJIL has also been informed by the need for a platform reflecting theperspectives of smaller states, like Armenia, to international law, which risk beingoverlooked and suppressed by mainstream Western, Soviet/Russian and Asian approachesto international law. As such, ArmJIL intends to serve as a balanced, methodologicallysound and high-quality periodical publication in the region, enabling articulation of theregion’s perspectives as distinct from the mainstream or ideologically influencednarratives.In pursuit of these objectives, ArmJIL invites submissions for its first, inaugural issue.
