About C.G. Weeramantry

Judge Weeramantry was lovingly called “Christie” by people close to him. We can afford to pick it up; and that would perhaps be in line with his legacy of challenging the dry, lifeless culture of the protocol. One of his most impressionable contributions was that he championed the idea of morality and found religion as an essential repository of it.

Journal of International Law and Comity (JILC) is published by Centre for Peace, Justice and International Law (Weera Centre). It is a double peer-reviewed, openaccess, biannual journal premised on the principle that scholarship should be generated on high ideals of positive change in the field of public international law. With advisors steering us from across the globe, we invite submissions for our forthcoming issue scheduled for publication in March 2023. Contributions that engage with pressing questions of human rights, environment, disarmament, peace, justice, and equity in international law are particularly welcome. Authors can explore any area or aspect of international law, provided it has a significant human or nonhuman impact. Those who do not come from a law background but intend to write on something ancillary to international law, are also invited to contribute after getting in touch with the editor through email and sharing broad outlines of the proposal. Further information about JILC can be gathered from the Centre’s website. The link to our previous issues can be found here.
