CYIL vol. 13 (2022)

The Yearbook also covers the Czech practice of international law, in particular, a list of treaties ratified by the Czech Republic, reports on the recent works of the International Law Commission and activities of the Sixth (legal) Committee of the UN General Assembly, book reviews, and a survey of the Czech international law bibliography. This volume also pays tribute to two great professors and members of the Advisory Board of the CYIL, Prof. Čestmír Čepelka and Prof. Paul Tavernier, who passed away this year. As usual, the authors of this publication, who are from academia and legal practice, come from both Czech and foreign institutions. This volume includes several contributions from foreign professors and researchers, coming from or teaching in Armenia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Slovakia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States. As to the Czech institutions involved, these include Charles University in Prague, Palacký University in Olomouc, the Institute of Law of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the University of Economics in Prague, the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as some private law firms. This publication appears thanks to a continuing financial subsidy to the Czech Society of International Law from the Council of Scientific Societies of the Czech Republic. We are also grateful for the generous financial support from the law firm Skils (Prague). We also wish that this volume of the Czech Yearbook will find many readers and we are already looking forward to new authors and new contributions for our next volume in 2023. We are also grateful for any comments or suggestions on how to improve the quality of this journal. Prof. Pavel Šturma Editor-in-Chief
