IJIL is intended to promote international law in Indonesia and to build the interest of scholars and decision-makers in the important role of international law in developing the rule-based international community. IJIL is intended to serve as an academic discussion forum on the development of international law in Indonesia and in the region. We welcome scholars and practitioners to contribute to IJIL in shaping the rule-based international community. IJIL offers current academic debates on the development of the field from the viewpoints of/or about Indonesia and other parts of Asia and the developing world at large. Each issue of IJIL accepts manuscripts on conceptual, theoretical, and practical topics published on a thematic basis. IJIL invites writers to their views that would strengthen the role and effectiveness of international law in an exploratory and non-descriptive style.
