The organizers of the 12th Annual Conference of the European Society of International Law (ESIL) would like to both congratulate those selected to be agora speakers at this year’s Conference- and also to remind them that the deadline for the submission of their full papers is 1 July, 2016.

The caliber of proposals, and thus the level of competition, was very high this year; out of about 200 abstracts, the agora selection committees chose 41 for inclusion in the Conference.

Please submit papers to esil.papers@rgsl.edu.lv

Full papers should contain the main ideas, reasoning and conclusions of the author. Papers may have a maximum of 5,000-6,000 words (approx. 10-15 pages, including footnotes) but can be shorter.

Please use the OSCOLA citation guidelines.

Note that papers competing for the ESIL Young Scholar Prize (YSP) should have a length between 8,000-12,000 words (including footnotes). Again, please use the OSCOLA citation guidelines.
