Note to Contributors

The AYIHL i nvites submission of manuscripts, in Eng lish or French, on

subjects relating to international humanitarian law, policy and action.

A manuscript will be considered for publication:

● Only on the assurance th at it has not in whole or in part or in substance

been published or offered for publication elsewhere;

●On the understanding that it may be submitted in condence to an

expert referee or e xpert referees for evaluation;

●On the understanding that the editors reserve the right to make what

changes they consider desirable

(a) to bring the manuscript into the house style of the AYIHL;

(b) to eliminate errors of typi ng, grammar, synta x, punctuation,

spelling, idiom and the like;

(c) to eliminate ambigu ity, illogical ity, tautology, circumlocution a nd

redundanc y;

(d) to produce accuracy and coherence;

(e) to improve the mode of expression and style of writing;

(f) to avoid possible criminal or civil liability.

Authors are required to read their manuscripts very ca refully to avoid

the need for the editors to exercise these r ights extensively. In particular,

authors are asked to check the computer print-out and to acquaint

themselves with the house style of the AYIHL. Note, in particular:
