Max Planck Yearbook Of United Nations Law

The Max Planck Yearbook of United Nations Law (UNYB) addresses both legal scholars and practitioners, giving them insights into the workings, challenges and evolution of the UN.

This publication constitutes the first scholarly periodical to focus on activities of the United Nations in the field of international law. It recognizes the recent increased impact of the development of the World Organization, its Specialized Agencies and other aspects of the United Nations System, as well as their effect on the shaping of international relations.

The Max Planck Yearbook of United Nations Law (UNYB), founded in 1997, appears under the auspices of the Max Planck Foundation for International Peace and the Rule of Law. It has a two-tier structure: The first part, 'The Law and Practice of the United Nations', concentrates on the legal fundamentals of the UN, its Specialized Agencies and Programmes. The second part, 'Legal Issues Related to the Goals of the United Nations', analyses achievements with regard to fulfilling the main objectives of the UN. The UNYB addresses both scholars and practitioners, giving them insights into the workings, challenges and evolution of the UN.

For more than 10 years now, the Max Planck Yearbook of United Nations Law has become a much sought after forum for essays in international law related to the UN. Volume 12 (2008) again contains articles dealing with a variety of topics such as Security Council Powers and the Exigencies of Justice after War and Revitalising the United Nations Human Rights Special Procedures Mechanisms as a Means of Achieving and Maintaining International Peace and Security; as well as an article on the topic of the Principle of Non-Refoulement at Sea and the Effectiveness of Asylum Protection. The volume also contains in depth articles dealing with Rule of Law. This is only a selection, showing the wide range of topics. This volume is therefore again a must for any academic or practitioner involved in international law and questions concerning the United Nations.
