The Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law


We are pleased to announce that the Law Library now subscribes to the Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law online. 

ABOUT THE ENCYCLOPEDIA

The Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law (MPEPIL) is a comprehensive online resource containing peer-reviewed articles on every aspect of public international law. Written and edited by an incomparable team of over 800 scholars and practitioners, published in partnership with the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, and updated throughout the year, this major reference work is essential for anyone researching or teaching international law.

Each of the 1,700 articles selected for publication within the Encyclopedia has been chosen to reflect not only the history of public international law, but also recent growth areas such as criminal law, human rights law, economic law, and environmental law. Every article published undergoes a rigorous review process, which includes peer-review by at least two members of the MPEPIL Advisory Board, led by RĂ¼diger Wolfrum, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law. 

Articles within the Encyclopedia can be searched by title, full text, author, bibliography, and more; the collection can be browsed by name, subject, or author. Print friendly PDFs of each article are available. The Encyclopedia also features the Oxford Law Citator, which provides links between related cases, articles, and additional materials within the Encyclopedia, other online resources from OUP, and selected third party websites.
