Call for Papers: FOR THE 2025 LIEBER SOCIETY, LIEBER WRITING PRIZE
The American Society of International Law’s Lieber Society on the Law of Armed Conflict awards the Lieber Prize to the authors of publications that the judges consider to be outstanding in the field of international humanitarian law (or the law of armed conflict). Both monographs and articles (including chapters in edited volumes) are eligible for consideration — the prize is awarded to the best submission in each of these two categories.
Eligibility:
Anyone may apply for the article or book prize. For those in academia or research institutions, the prize is open to those who are either up to 8 years post-PhD or JD or those with up to 8 years in an academic teaching or research position. Membership in the American Society of International Law is not required. Multi-authored works may be submitted if all the authors are eligible to enter the competition. Submissions from outside the United States are welcomed.
Submission:
Submissions, including a letter or message of nomination, must be received by 10 January 2025. One submission per prize category is allowed. Three copies of books must be submitted. Electronic submission of articles is encouraged. Authors may submit their own work. All submissions must include contact information (e-mail, fax, phone, address), curriculum vitae and other relevant information demonstrating compliance with eligibility criteria. The Prize Committee will acknowledge receipt of the submission by email.
Criteria:
Any work in the English language published during 2024 or whose publication is in final proof at the time of submission may be nominated for this prize. Works that have already been considered for this prize may not be resubmitted. Entries may address topics such as the use of force in international law, the conduct of hostilities during international and non-international armed conflicts, protected persons and objects under the law of armed conflict, the law of weapons, operational law, rules of engagement, occupation law, peace operations, counter-terrorist operations, and humanitarian assistance. Other topics bearing on the application of international law during armed conflict or other military operations are also appropriate.
