The call for abstracts is open to PhD students and early-career researchers interested to provide critical reflection to the topics above mentioned.

Yearbook Series on Law of the Sea<\/strong> (abstracts<\/em>)
This volume will delve into the intricate relationship between the law of the sea and the protection of human rights. It will analyse how the law of the sea shapes the interpretation and application of human rights legal instruments and obligations, including those that embody peremptory rules of international law. Within this framework, the volume will examine how maritime spaces and resources are utilised by both States and non-State actors to either uphold human rights law or to perpetrate, facilitate, or prevent serious human rights violations of international concern, such as crimes against humanity, genocide, human trafficking, and ecocide. Submissions are welcome in English and Italian. Abstract deadline: August 31, 2024<\/strong>. See more here<\/a>.
