Balkan Yearbook of European and International Law 2023

The fifth volume of the Balkan Yearbook of European and International Law (BYEIL) discusses diverse and actual legal topics of international and comparative dimensions and angles.

The BYEIL 2023 focuses on the special topic of Human Rights at Multiple Levels and contributes to the extensively researched field characterised by emerging trends, with the authors providing a deeper and more concise understanding of human rights-related issues. Discussions surrounding indivisibility, interdependence, universalism versus cultural relativism inevitably led to exploring human rights at various levels.

The two permanent sections on European Law and International Law deal with recent developments in these highly dynamic and developing areas. They serve as a forum for scholarly discourse on these topics from the South-East European perspective.

Special Topic on the Human Rights at Multiple Levels.- Brcko Arbitration: An Analysis of Legal and Peacebuilding Dimensions.- Navigating the Intersection between Islam, European Values, and the Integration of Muslims in Europe.- Environmental Security as a New Challenge to International Relations and International Community.- European Law Section.- Analysis of New Rule on Form of Power of Attorney in Serbian Law with Reference to Legal Approaches in Selected European Countries.- New ESG Obligations for Enterprises in Supply and Value Chains through Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Acts in the EU and Germany.- The crisis of the rule of law: “chronicle of a death foretold”.- International Law Section.- The legitimacy crisis in International Investment Law: Towards an overcoming?.
