About JFIEL
JFIEL is a student-led platform committed to rigorous, contemporary legal analysis. Since 2020, the Forum has published features spanning Public International Law, International Trade Law, Human Rights, Humanitarian Law, Investment Law, and beyond.
We have been recognised among the 20 most influential international law blogs worldwide since 2023, and our work has been cited by the International Law Reporter, the International Law Association, and the Cambridge Law Review, among others.
Our aim is to build a discourse within the international law community and to achieve that we also simultaneously organise curated symposiums, conferences, and let’s talk international section.
Themes
The following are indicative themes:
- International Criminal Law
- International Human Rights Law
- Critical Approaches to International Law
- International Humanitarian Law
- International Commercial Arbitration
- International Space Law
- WTO Law and Policy
- International Investment Law
These are only indicative and we encourage you to go beyond these fields of international law as well. We particularly value pieces that take a clear doctrinal or theoretical position, engage with recent developments, and have something genuinely new to say.
