Each annotated document will be published under the name of its author. In addition, reporters are provided with free access to the Oxford Reports on International Law Database.
Reporters are also entitled to £100 (one hundred pounds sterling) in Oxford University Press books (or eBooks if available) for every fifth completed headnote.
