The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence 2021 (ePub)

The Global Community Yearbook on International Law and Jurisprudence is a one-stop resource for all researchers studying international law generally or international tribunals specifically. The Yearbook has established itself as an authoritative source of reference on global legal issues and international jurisprudence. It includes analysis of the most significant global trends in a way that allows readers to monitor the development of the global legal order from several perspectives. The Global Community Yearbook publishes annually in a volume of carefully chosen primary source material and corresponding expert commentary. The general editor, Professor Emeritus Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo, employs her vast expertise in international law to select excerpts from important court opinions and to choose experts from around the world to contribute essay-guides, which illuminate those cases. Although the main focus is recent case law from the major international tribunals and regional courts, the first four parts of each year's edition features expert articles by renowned scholars who address broader themes in current and future developments in international law and global policy, themes that appear throughout the case law of the many courts covered by the series as a whole. The Global Community Yearbook has thus become not just an indispensable window to recent jurisprudence: the series now also serves to prepare researchers for the issues facing emerging global law.

The 2021 edition updates readers on the important work of long-standing international tribunals and introduces readers to more novel topics in international law. The Yearbook continues to provide expert coverage of the Court of Justice of the European Union and diverse tribunals from the International Court of Justice, human rights courts (ECtHR, IACtHR, ACtHPR), criminal tribunals such as the International Criminal Court and the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, to economically based tribunals such as ICSID and the WTO dispute settlement system. In addition to an in memoriam to Ant?nio Augusto Can?ado Trindade, this edition contains original research articles on the development and analysis of the concept of global law and the views of the leading global law theorists on the subject of globalization, as well as a special section which provides a study of migratory flows between Colombia and Venezuela and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact the COVID-19 has had on China's Belt and Road Initiative. The Yearbook provides students, scholars, and practitioners alike a valuable combination of expert discussion and direct quotes from the court opinions to which that discussion relates, as well as an annual overview of the process of cross-fertilization between international courts and tribunals.
