Permalink 12 January 10    Inside Justice ®   Renee Dopplick    Tags: call for papers, articles, journals     Last updated: 12 January 10
This call for papers comes from IntLawGrrls, a co-sponsor of the October 2010 roundtable.

A special issue of the International Criminal Law Review, to be published in Spring 2011 and dedicated to Judge Patricia M. Wald, will focus on women and international criminal law. Judge Wald served as a former Chief Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. Circuit, a former Judge of the ICTY, Co-Chair of the ASIL Task Force on International Criminal Court, and Chair of the Board of Directors of the Open Society Justice Initiative.

Three guest editors -- Diane Marie Amann, UC Davis, School of Law; Jaya Ramji-Nogales, Temple University, Beasley School of Law; and Beth Van Schaack, University of Santa Clara, School of Law -- will review invited and contributed articles of 5,000-10,000 words.

Contributors also will present their articles at a roundtable at American Society of International Law (ASIL) in Washington, D.C. on 29 October, 2010, to coincide with the 10th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on "Women, Peace, and Security."

The deadline for submissions is 15 April 2010.

Suggested Topics

The organizers welcome submissions on the following topics:
  • Can, and has, international criminal law improved the material conditions of women's lives and promoted the dignity of women?
  • Is participation in international criminal justice liberating and transformative, or alienating and regressive?
  • What legal reforms, procedural devices, advocacy strategies, and institutional arrangements can be employed to ensure that women experience the former and not the latter?
  • Does fixation on criminal penalties constrain imagination and implementation of other ways to respond to the needs, demands, and aspirations of women in situations of armed conflict, mass violence, abuse, and repression?
  • How have women – as activists, victims, lawyers, and perpetrators – changed the field?
  • How has the gender jurisprudence advanced, or impeded, the development of international criminal law?
  • Has international criminal law changed the way we think about violence against women?

Guidelines and Submissions

Articles must be original and unpublished. They should be 5,000-10,000 words. The review process is anonymous. Selected articles will be subject to a "full edit and peer review."

Articles must adhere to the International Criminal Law Review style sheet.

For more information, see the Detailed Information for Authors by IntLawGrrls.

The deadline for submissions is 15 April 2010.

Return of the State

Whither Justice? Uganda and Five Years of the International Criminal Court Michael Drexler argues that the International Criminal Court is pursuing an inappropriate engagement strategy in Uganda by ignoring the impacts of criminal prosecution and investigation on the prospects for peace to the country's decades-long conflict.
