Journal of International Law and Comity (JILC) is the flagship journal of the Centre for Peace, Justice and International Law (Weera Centre). It is a double peer-reviewed, open-access, biannual journal premised on the principle that scholarship should be generated on high ideals of positive change in public international law.

With advisors steering us from across the globe, we invite submissions for our forthcoming Issue 4:2 scheduled for publication in May 2024. Contributions that engage with pressing questions of human rights, environment, disarmament, peace, justice, and equity in international law are particularly welcome. Authors can explore any area or aspect of international law, provided it has a significant human or non-human impact. Those who do not come from a law background but intend to write on something ancillary to international law are also encouraged to contribute after getting in touch with the editor through email and sharing broad outlines of the proposal.
