『국제법평론』 25년 역사와 국제법 일반이론 연구

General Theory of International Law as Published in 25-year History of the Korea International Law Review - with Special Reference to its Sources and Subjects -

The Korea International Law Review(KILR) has been published since 1993. The time span of 25 years seems to be long enough to examine what has happened so far. This paper examines the academic papers, published in the last 25 years, which deal especially with the sources of, and the subjects of, international law. Researches on the traditional sources of international law, such as treaties and customary international law, are published. Also published are those on the newly emerging issue, such as soft law. Conflict of norms in international law also is carefully studied. Researches on the subjects of international law encompass States and non-State actors, such as inter-governmental organizations, NGOs and individuals. These academic papers show the developing interest of researchers in the current issues of international law and never fall behind the international academic trends. Nevertheless, developing and evolving academic concern to what is happening in the international community should be maintained lest that community be mere rhetoric.
