Call for Abstracts: Yearbook of International Disaster Law (Brill/Nijhoff Publisher)
The Yearbook of International Disaster Law (YIDL) aims to foster the interest of academics and practitioners on legal and institutional issues relevant to all forms of natural, technological and human-made disasters, including rapid and slow onset events, but excluding events such as armed conflicts or political/financial crises per se. The goal is to provide a forum for innovative research contributing to the international legal and policy debate related to prevention, mitigation, response and recovery phases in disaster scenarios.
The YIDL is a double-blind peer review journal published by Brill/Nijhoff and is available in printed
and on-line form.
