Mary Robinson to deliver Annual Lecture hosted by Irish Yearbook of International Law

The First Annual Distinguished Lecture hosted by The Irish Yearbook of International Law will be delivered by Mrs Mary Robinson on Friday next, 1 December at Iveagh House, Department of Foreign Affairs, Dublin at 7pm.  

The Irish Yearbook of International Law is a new publication presenting critical  analysis and up to date information on key developments in international law. The Yearbook is edited by Dr Siobhán Mullally, Faculty of Law, University College, Cork and Dr Jean Allain, Queen's University of Belfast.  

On an annual basis, the Yearbook will present peer-reviewed academic articles and book reviews covering general issues of international law. Filling a gap in current scholarship, the Yearbook will also include in-depth surveys and analyses of Irish practice in international law. A team of designated correspondents will provide reports on international law developments in Ireland, Irish practice in international and European forums, and recent developments in North-South relations in Ireland.

As the first publication of its kind in this field in Ireland, the Irish Yearbook will become an essential resource for academics and practitioners, ensuring widespread dissemination of Irish practice in international law. In providing a forum for the documentation and analysis of North-South relations in Ireland, the Yearbook will also make an important contribution to post-conflict and transitional justice studies worldwide.

The first edition of the Yearbook, covering events in 2006, will be published by Hart Publishing, Oxford, in 2007.
