About the journal

Legal scholarship on the problems that cross borders.

The journal exists to examine how legal frameworks and governance structures can be used to pursue global justice: ensuring that fundamental rights, fairness and accountability hold up across jurisdictions rather than stopping at a border.

It publishes work on human rights, international criminal law and economic governance, alongside scholarship on the institutions that carry international law in practice. Submissions are peer-reviewed and the journal is published twice a year.

What we publish

Four areas, one question: does the law hold across borders?

I
Human rights

How rights are claimed, contested and enforced across borders.

II
International criminal law

Accountability for the gravest offences, and the courts that try them.

III
Economic governance

Trade, development and the legal order that shapes global markets.

IV
Global institutions

How the UN, WTO and ICC make, interpret and enforce law in practice.
