About American Society of International Law
The American Society of International Law, founded in 1906, was chartered by the United States Congress in 1950 to foster the study of international law, and to promote the establishment and maintenance of international relations on the basis of law and justice.
About the Journal
The American Journal of International Law is an English-language scholarly journal focusing on international law and international relations. It is published quarterly since 1907 by the American Society of International Law.
About Call for Papers
AJIL invites submissions on international law subjects as well as closely related issues of global governance, transnational law, and foreign relations law.
