Call for proposals
The Review calls for papers that explore law, policy and action relating to the protection of the dead during armed conflict and other humanitarian emergencies, for publication in Fall 2025. We particularly value proposals with a forward-looking perspective that offer recommendations to improve current legal, policy and humanitarian problems, as well as papers that present innovative and creative arguments that may have an impact on future law and policy.
Submitting your proposal
We invite anyone interested to submit a proposal by 21 May 2024. That proposal should consist of an abstract of maximum 500 words, as well as a biography of maximum 300 words (or a CV). Note that, if you are invited to submit a paper based on your proposal, the target length for a completed traditional article should be between 8,000 and 10,000 words, including footnotes – though we are open to proposals for other formats, such as opinion notes. Our selection process will prioritize innovative proposals that have clear potential to contribute to and advance legal and policy debates in this space in the years ahead.
In your 500-word abstract, please include:
- Proposed title;
- The main arguments you intend to develop; and,
- An explanation as to how your topic adds to the existing literature and fits within the Review’s editorial line.1
Please send your abstract and bio as a single Word document to [email protected] and ensure that “Proposal: Protection of the Dead” is in the email’s subject line. Note that, in line with our ongoing commitment to provide a space for a diverse array of voices in this field, we encourage submissions by established and emerging voices alike.
You will be notified as to the status of your proposal by 1 July 2024. If you are invited to submit a full-length article, a draft of your completed article will be due no later than 1 November 2024.
Please note that submissions to this edition will be reviewed by a jury, the membership of which will be announced in the coming weeks.
