International & Comparative Law Quarterly

The International & Comparative Law Quarterly (ICLQ) is the journal of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law and publishes papers on public and private international law, comparative law, human rights and European law, and is one of the world's leading journals covering all these areas. Since it was founded in 1952 the ICLQ has built a reputation for publishing innovative and original articles within the various fields, and also spanning them, exploring the connections between the subject areas. It offers both academics and practitioners wide topical coverage, without compromising rigorous editorial standards. The ICLQ attracts scholarship of the highest standard from around the world, which contributes to the maintenance of its truly international frame of reference. The 'Short Articles' section enables the discussion of contemporary legal issues and 'Book Reviews' highlight the most important new publications in these various fields. In 2024 the ICLQ launched its annual Forum - an issue focused on a single theme, allowing for in-depth analysis of a subject's multi-faceted dimensions, diverse expert perspectives and novel approaches, stimulating new avenues for research while benefitting from the rigorous academic scrutiny and support of the ICLQ editorial process. The ICLQ recognises the importance of supporting Early Career researchers, awarding an annual Prize for the most outstanding article by an Early Career Scholar, as well as hosting regular publishing workshops. The ICLQ is published by Cambridge University Press.
