The Archiv des Völkerrechts was founded in 1948. The journal presents analyses, comments, reports and court decisions on international public law.
AVR is a forum for the German-language community of scholars engaged in public international law and aims at entering into a dialogue with its international peers. AVR's content reflects dogmatic and theoretical essentials of public international law as well as developments in international jurisprudence. Legal fields covered range from traditional core questions of public international law as law between states, the laws of armed conflict and the law of international organisations to human rights law, international environmental law, world trade law and international administrative law.
In the recent past, the comprehensive analysis of particular and universal legal orders as well as the creation of a material international legal order based on principles have been in the spotlight besides contributions on today's conflicts with a public international law angle.
The Archiv des Völkerrechts is listed in: Baidu Scholar, Ebsco Discovery Service, Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals, IBSS, and Kuselit Online.
