Articles should be typed in double-space (including footnotes and references) on one side of the paper only (preferably A4) with wide margins.

Author’s Names and Affiliations:
Please indicate the given name and family name clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address, and telephone number of each author.
Corresponding Author:
Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing, publication and also post-publication. Ensure that telephone numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
Sponsoring Information:
If the research is sponsored or supported by an organization, please indicate it.
4. Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length of 150 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list.
5. Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 5 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of').
6. Subdivision of the Article
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1, 2. (then 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2), 1.2, etc. The abstract is not included in section numbering.
7. Table and Figures
Present tables and figures at the end of the article or in line with text. Please note that the article will be published in black and white.
8. References
Author(s) should follow the latest edition of APA style in referencing. Please visit www.apastyle.org to learn more about APA style
Citations in the Text:
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Avoid citation in the abstract. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
Reference List:
References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.

Copyright:
Copyrights for articles published in Arab Journal of International Law (ARJIL) are retained by the authors, with first publication rights granted to the journal. The journal/publisher is not responsible for subsequent uses of the work. It is the author's responsibility to bring an infringement action if so desired by the author.
Publication Fee
There are no publication fees for the current issue, but this is subject to change in future issues if the committee decides to do so.
Review Process
Arjil will not accept or publish manuscripts in its journal without prior peer review. There will be a review process of manuscripts by one or more independent referees who are conversant in the pertinent subject area.
The editor evaluates the recommendation and notifies the author of the manuscript status. The manuscript may be:
| |

|
The comments of the anonymous reviewers will be forwarded to the authors, and when the authors are ready to submit their revised manuscripts, they read the comments of the editors and reviewers, and respond to them by telling what modifications they have made in their manuscript or why they have not made the suggested changes.
Material which has been previously copyrighted, published, or accepted for publication will not be considered for publication in the journals.
The review process will ensure that all authors have equal opportunity for publication of their papers. Acceptance and scheduling of publication of papers in these periodicals will not be impeded by added criteria and procedures beyond those contained in the review process.
The editorial board is highly committed to the quick review process of the paper, but not with the sacrifice of the right judgement of a paper. The review process takes maximum two weeks.
With Warm Regards,
Prof. Chougrani El Houcine
