Writing Guidelines

The procedure for writing and submitting the manuscripts in the Padjadjaran Journal of International Law (PJIL) is as follows:

A. Submission
1. The subject of the article should only be limited to (public) international law issues.
2. Manuscript must have not previously been published on any media and must not contain any plagiarism.
3. The manuscript is in English. Authors, particularly those whose first language is not English, may wish to have their English-language manuscripts checked by a native speaker before submission. This is optional but may help to ensure that the academic content of the paper is fully understood by the editor and any reviewers.
4. Manuscript must be submitted in Microsoft Word containing approximately 6000- 8000 words (including the references).
5. Authors must submit the manuscript via the PJIL website: https://jurnal.fh.unpad.ac.id/index.php/pjil.

B. Presentation
The manuscript is written in journal format systematically, which includes the article’s Title, Author Name, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Discussion (consisting of subdivisions), Conclusion and References.

Font and Paragraphs
The manuscript is on A4 size paper, with the Calibri font, 11 pt size, and a single space. The first paragraph in each section is not indented, and the second and subsequent paragraphs should be left indented by 0.6 cm. The margin for each side (right, left, up, down) is 3 cm.

Title
The article's title must be straightforward and specific, which illustrates the article's main point comprehensively.
Titles should be centred in bold, italicised, and have title capitals.

The abstract is written in 10 pt of Calibri font, with a single space. The Abstract should not exceed the limit of 200 words.
All abstracts should be accompanied by keywords which consist of three words/phrases, must be arranged alphabetically, and must show the essential points of the article.
