Quebec Journal of International Law

Aims & Scope

The Quebec Journal of International Law (QJIL) is the scientific body of the Société québécoise de droit international (SQDI).

Created in 1984 by Professor Jacques-Yvan Morin, it publishes two issues per year.

The Journal is dedicated to providing an overview of research and practice in international law in Quebec, within francophone communities and abroad.

As the only journal of international law in the Americas to publish mainly in French, the Journal constitutes an entryway to the continent for all French-speaking legal communities.

Eager to reflect the evolution of international law in the Americas, the Journal also publishes articles in English and Spanish.
