If you are an early-career scholar working on international economic law, please consider submitting your abstract by the end of June. This is a terrific and supportive environment and it comes with the potential of publishing with JIEL.

Does the Australian government have a duty to repatriate citizens and permanent residents stuck in Iran and Israel? Our own @profjmcadam.bsky.social, Dr Thomas Mulder & @reginajefferies.bsky.social explain what international law says ... theconversation.com/australian-c...

Australian citizens in Iran and Israel are desperate to leave. Is the government required to help?
While the Australian government has frequently helped its citizens flee crises overseas, it is not legally obligated to do so. And repatriating citizens is complex.
