CALL FOR PAPERS
Eyes on the International Criminal Court
The Council for American Students in International Negotiations Inc.
(CASIN) is pleased to announce the annual call for papers for Eyes on
the ICC, a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal devoted to the
study of the International Criminal Court. Eyes on the ICC invites
high quality papers and book review submissions from various
disciplines that examine issues related to the ICC. Eyes on the ICC
encourages scholars and related professionals of all nationalities to
submit their original work; student papers deemed to be exceptional
will also be considered.
CASIN is an international non-profit, non-governmental organization
providing young Americans unprecedented access to the international
policymaking process by sending delegations to meetings of various
United Nations bodies, the Assembly of States Parties of the
International Criminal Court (ICC), and other international
negotiations.
CASIN (formerly the Independent Student Coalition for the
International Criminal Court) takes a well-rounded approach to the
study of international relations. The Office of Education Programs and
Publications delivers scholastic research cover-ing the International
Criminal Court (ICC), human rights, children and women's issues,
public health, disarmament and development, and nuclear
non-proliferation. Eyes on the ICC is the flagship publication of the
Department, aimed at (1) providing students with an opportunity to
publish their work alongside established scholars and professionals on
issues relating to the ICC; (2) pursuing in-depth analysis of those
issues; and (3) educating the American public about the ICC and the
issues surrounding it. For more information about either CASIN or Eyes
on the ICC, please visit www.americanstudents.us.
We invite paper and book review submissions from scholars, jurists,
diplomats, and professionals in related fields. Occasionally,
exceptional student work will also be accepted. All papers must meet
the submission requirements below.
