The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence (GCYILJ) is a peer-reviewed journal, covered in SCOPUS, first published in 2001. Since then, it has become an authoritative reference on the most significant transformations in the world constitutive process. While providing researchers and practitioners with access to a uniquely rich resource for the study of international jurisprudence, the GCYILJ promotes discussion on current issues that impact substantive and procedural aspects of global law. In this way, the GCYILJ makes it possible to monitor – from year to year and from several perspectives – the development of the international order towards a legal system for a global community.

“The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence has, since its founding, become the most important source of reference on global legal issues, which necessarily covers an enormous range of issues and more particularly developments before international tribunals.”
- M. Cherif Bassiouni, DePaul University, College of Law

It offers exciting opportunities to partake in and reflect on the continuous development and chronicling of the central concept of global constitutionalism and its interface with global governance.

GCYILJ on the OUPblog What Is Global Law? AUGUST 10TH 2015
In a piece posted on OUPblog, General Editor Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo explores “the question of whether the birth of a global community gave rise to a new set of international norms, and whether such norms amount to a system coherent enough to be called 'Global Law'”.
No-impunity as a Global Constitutional Principle JANUARY 11TH 2018
We draw your attention to this recent post on OUP blog by Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo  in which she shares her reflections on the No-impunity principle as a principle of  global constitutional  law and proposes reopening time-barred criminal proceedings as an urgent remedy to grant reparation for impunity.

“A very useful publication, one that retains its focus on relevant global developments in international law while being extensive in the issues it covers, and this makes it different from other similar publications.”
- Malgosia Fitzmaurice, Department of Law, University of London
