For the 2011-2012 academic year - and in conjunction with our March 2012 Hague Conference: The Lubanga Trial: Lessons Learned, the journal will focus on the ICC's first trial, the trial of Thomas Lubanga Dyilo.

SUBMISSIONS TO THE JOURNAL
Submissions should be sent to  submissions@iccsn.com
All submissions must be received by
31 March 2012.

Articles should be between 2000 and 5000 words long and submitted in an editable, unlocked Microsoft Word document. Note, however, that quality is the main focus, and not quantity. Submissions should be formatted in Times New Roman 12pt font, and double-spaced.

Submissions should be accompanied by a short biography of the author, including academic degrees, qualifications, and background. A short abstract for each article of several sentences should also be included.

If you have any concerns about the length of your article, or any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the editorial team at the address above.

PLEASE NOTE: Submission of a manuscript implies a commitment to publish in the IICJ if accepted. Authors should not simultaneously submit to other journals, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or content.

Authors will receive the result of the Editorial Board’s review by April 11th. If an article is accepted, authors will receive comments and requests for edits by April 30th, and will be expected to submit a final, revised article by May 15th.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Manuscripts will be reviewed by the IICJ Editorial Board. Authors will be notified of the result of the review at each level. When reviewing submissions, the editorial staff will focus primarily on the clarity of argument, writing style, and professional quality (including citations and references).
