Opis

Volume 13 presents articles on different topical issues in international law ranging from on-going challenges that possible new State succession cases, such as Scotland, etc., would continue to pose to a fragile field of regulation to issues of sustainable development and nuclear power, and further developments in the regulation of State immunity. Among the selected authors, the Yearbook is pleased to continue to introduce new authors from the region. The Baltic Yearbook of International Law is the first legal journal in the field of international law published under the auspices of the Baltic Editorial Board that attempts to bring to the international debate the issues that are of importance in the Baltic States and provides a forum for the views of, among others, Baltic international scholars on various topical themes of international law. The first volume appeared in 2001 with the symposium on the question of International Legal Status of the Baltic States. The Yearbook contains State practice reports from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and thus serves as an important source of information that is not available elsewhere. On several occasions the Yearbook has offered articles discussing the history of international law and current issues in Eastern Europe and the Russian Federation, thus making more accessible a regional discourse to a wider audience in the world.
