Publish an article
The International Law Society Journal is an open platform. This means that in principle anyone may publish an article in it. Nevertheless, this is subject to a number of conditions.
The language of The International Law Society Journal is English. This is to say that all of the contents of this website are first and foremost in English. In addition, the website makes it possible to present articles in another language. In the latter case, when you submit your article, it must always be accompanied by a professional English translation.
Your article must also satisfy a certain minimum quality standard. The editorial board of The International Law Society Journal may refuse to accept an article that is submitted or to remove one that has been published without citing reasons for doing so.
The contents of any article which is accepted will not be changed in any way. Its layout will be altered to bring it into line with that of the website. The website's readers will be afforded an opportunity to comment on any article that is published.
Parts of those articles which are published may be used as part of a newsletter issued by The International Law Society Journal.
An article must mention the name of its author and employer or the organisation within which they work. No further contact details may be mentioned in an article.
It will be possible for visitors to comment on any publication that has been placed. The editorial board of The International Law Society Journal is entitled to refuse to accept specific comments, or to shorten or remove them without citing reasons for doing so.
No fee is payable for the publication of an article in The International Law Society Journal. The International Law Society Journal has no business objective and merely seeks to facilitate the public exchange of knowledge, experience and opinions in relation to any international legal subject. Howver, publication of an article is rewwarded by a remarkable gift.
This time the gift is Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age, a wonderful art book by Marcel Wanders.
Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age is a groundbreaking art publication combining the finest
materials, the most innovative techniques and the testimonies of thought leaders and craft masters from around the world.
The internationally renowned designer Marcel Wanders launches his latest project in collaboration with the Rijksmuseum – the unique art publication Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age, which pays homage to the 17th-century Dutch masterpieces from the Rijksmuseum’s prestigious Gallery of Honour. Three years in the making, the project was born of Marcel Wanders’ profound appreciation for this outstanding cultural heritage and its timeless significance. “This book is about how the greatest masterpieces influence how we see the world today,” says Marcel Wanders. “I believe the power of these works goes beyond their presentation. They have an inherent quality that catches your eye and pulls you in. They have star power,” museum director Wim Pijbes says.
The book brings us eye to eye with over 60 iconic paintings such as Rembrandt’s Night Watch and Vermeer’s Milkmaid.
Each piece is experienced up close with the most surprising detail, as the finest printing techniques and thoughtful perspectives transport these paintings from a different age and vividly bring them to life. Leading contemporary critical thinkers from the worlds of philosophy, art, film, food, trend, business and design explain how their perception of the world has been influenced by these paintings with each of the 30 renowned experts focusing on an individual artwork. Featuring writings of Ferran Adrià, David Allen, Alain de Botton, Anton Corbijn, Angela Missoni, Jimmy Nelson, Erwin Olaf and many more, the testimonies add a new way of seeing not only these masterpieces, but also life itself.
The International Law Society Journal serves as an open forum and is also designed to encourage substantive debate involving numerous international matters. Any opinion which is presented with the aid of an editorial piece, an article which has been submitted, a response or comment does not represent the publisher's views, nor is it required to correspond with generally accepted views concerning the relevant material by definition. The International Law Society Journal therefore rejects any liability for the contents of any texts published on this website.
