""The Asian Yearbook of International Law"" is a publication dedicated primarily to international law as seen from an Asian perspective. It provides a forum for the publication of articles in the field of international law written by experts from the region, and also other articles relating to Asian topics. Its aim is two-fold: to promote the dissemination of knowledge of international law in Asia and to provide an insight into Asian views and practices, which will be especially useful to a non-Asian readership. As a rule, each volume of the ""Asian Yearbook"" contains articles, notes, state practice, a chronicle of events and incidents, United Nations activities with special relevance to Asia, a survey of activities of the Asian-African Legal Consultative Committee, a bibliography and a documents section.
