Full Description
The New Zealand Yearbook of International Law is an annual, internationally refereed publication intended to stand as a reference point for legal materials and critical commentary on issues of international law. The Yearbook also serves as a valuable tool in the determination of trends, state practice and policies in the development of international law in New Zealand, the Pacific region, the Southern Ocean and Antarctica and to generate scholarship in those fields. In this regard the Yearbook contains an annual 'Year-in-Review' of developments in international law of particular interest to New Zealand as well as a dedicated section on the South Pacific.
This Yearbook covers the period 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016.
