CYIL Vol. 7, 2016

ZUZANA TRÁVNÍČKOVÁ CYIL 7 ȍ2016Ȏ and Květoslav Růžička from Prague Law Faculty offered a new (8 th already) edition of a popular textbook Mezinárodní právo soukromé [International Private Law]. Also public international law students in the Czech Republic may appreciate two new sources of information: Rukověť ke studiu mezinárodního práva [Handbook of International Law] prepared by a group of young authors from Palacký University in Olomouc and also a new edition of Casebook: Výběr případů z mezinárodního práva veřejného [Casebook: Selected case law on international law]. The fact that the representatives of the International Law Department of the Law Faculty of Charles University have presented already the third edition of the casebook shows the long-term importance of this publication in international law education in the Czech Republic. Many international law aspects are discussed also in JanKuklík, HelenaHofmannová and René Petráš (eds), Jak odškodnit holocaust?: problematika vyvlastnění židovského majetku, jeho restituce a odškodnění [How to compensate the holocaust? Issues of expropriation of Jewish property, its restitution and compensation]. Among a number of Czech legal journals, the Czech Yearbook of Public & Private International Law – indexed in the SCOPUS database – confirmed its pivotal position. 26 articles published in CYIL in 2015 covered international criminal law (especially the crime of aggression within the Rome Statute post-Kampala), international organisations, the relation between international and European law, international human rights law and criminal law, the Czech view on investment and trade law and Czech practice of international law. Many texts devoted to Public & Private international law were published also in other significant Czech legal journals issued by research institutions and universities, e.g. Právník [Lawyer], The Lawyer Quarterly (both issued by The Institute of State and Law in Prague) , Acta Universitatis Carolinae. Iuridica and Jurisprudence (both issued by Law Faculty, Charles University in Prague), Časopis pro právní vědu a praxi [ Journal of Jurisprudence and Legal Practice ] (Law Faculty, Masaryk University in Brno) or Acta Iuridica Olomucensia (Law Faculty, Palacký University in Olomouc). Translations in brackets were not authorized; however, when it was available, they were taken over from the databases of publication activities maintained by particular universities and research institutions in the Czech Republic.
