The Baltic Yearbook of International Law has reached an important milestone. In 2026, it will publish its 25th volume. Since 2001, and across 25 volumes, the Baltic Yearbook of International Law has brought the voices of scholars from the region on a wide range of themes in international and European law into the broader debate taking place in the international arena. Moreover, it is a unique source of selected and organised information on the state practice of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania over the past 25 years on all major issues of international law.

Volume 25 will address contemporary challenges in private international law and arbitration, reflecting the particular expertise of the Riga Graduate School of Law in this field and marking the year 2026 with two international conferences.

Scholars from across the Baltic States and beyond are invited to contribute to reflections on the challenges facing the core EU private international law instruments, as well as on the consequences of CJEU case law in the field of arbitration. These and many other themes within private international law will be the focus of this anniversary volume, edited in cooperation between the Riga Graduate School of Law and the publisher Brill/Nijhoff, under the general editorship of Professors Ineta Ziemele (Riga), Lauri Malksoo (Tartu), and Dainius Žalimas (Kaunas).

Articles published in the Yearbook are peer-reviewed and are indexed by the Scopus database. This gives a broader audience to the existing and future authors published in the Yearbook, as their articles are already and will be searchable in Scopus, one of the biggest bibliographic and citation databases of multidisciplinary scientific publications.

Articles should be submitted by 30 September 2026 to the Managing Editor of BYIL Ligita Gjortlere ligita.gjortlere@rgsl.edu.lv.

Authors have to follow BYIL Guidelines for Authors.

Child marriage is a gendered issue: about 18 % of those married before age 18 are boys, while about 82 % are girls. Child marriages can result in early and frequent pregnancy and play a significant role in the proliferation of sexual and reproductive health problems. Child marriages exacerbate risks of maternal morbidity and mortality as well as infant mortality. In addition, child marriages often curtail further educational and economic opportunities, especially for girl children, creating further risks of intergenerational poverty.

Call for Abstracts

We invite forward-looking contributions on child marriage across different African contexts that foreground pathways to resilience and empowerment through legal approaches. While the conference will have a primarily legal orientation, we also welcome interdisciplinary contributions (in particular from social work and social sciences, more generally). In this regard, diverse methodological approaches are also encouraged. Sub-themes include, but are not limited to:

• Approaches to rethinking domestic law on child marriage as a resilience enhancing and empowering vehicle

• Approaches to rethinking regional and international human rights law on child marriage as a resilience enhancing and empowering vehicle

• Approaches to rethinking human rights-based approaches to child marriage as a resilience enhancing and empowering vehicle

• Approaches to rethinking climate law (and other areas of law) as a resilience enhancing and empowering vehicle

• Approaches to rethinking law on child marriage through customs and traditions

• Empirical studies on resilience and empowerment through legal and non-legal approaches

• Resilience enhancing and empowering approaches to child marriage in social work

• Strengthening girls’ agency, voice and pathways to empowerment: contributions that enhance understanding of girls’ lived experiences, strategies, aspirations and negotiations with their families and communities.

• Community-grounded pathways to changing child marriage: contributions that enhance understanding of how community systems and individuals navigate and negotiate changes in child marriage practices.

The conference is intended to be a platform for scholars and practitioners in the fields of law (especially human rights and climate law), anthropology, social work and the broader social sciences to meet, present papers and share their perspectives under the conference’s overarching theme, “Pathways to resilience and empowerment: child marriage at the crossroads of law and societal dynamics”.

How to submit an abstract

Interested contributors are invited to submit an abstract of max. 300 words outlining the proposed contribution. Submissions should be accompanied by a bio (max. 500 words) indicating the author’s background and explaining how their experience relates to the conference topics. Please use the following link to submit your abstract. The call closes on 15 September 2026. Accepted participants will be informed by 20 October 2026 at the latest.
