CCIL Awards for Excellence in Scholarship
To recognize the work of Canadian scholars of international law, each year, the CCIL conducts a competition for Excellence in Scholarship, alternating between scholarly books and scholarly papers that make a substantial contribution to the international law literature.
CCIL Scholarly Book Award
The Scholarly Book Award is conducted every two years for scholarly books that make a substantial contribution to the international law literature.
CALL FOR 2026 SCHOLARLY BOOK SUBMISSIONS - OPEN
For books published in 2024 or 2025.
Any member of CCIL may submit a book published during the two calendar years prior to the year of the award. Thus, books eligible for the 2026 award will be published in 2024 or 2025.
-
The same book may not be submitted more than once. Co-authored books may be submitted if the primary author is eligible to submit a book. The committee will only accept one book per author. Edited or coedited books will not be accepted. Dissertations published as a book are accepted.
-
If the selection committee determines that none of the submitted books in a competition makes a substantial contribution to the international law literature, it may decline to select any book for the Award. The selection committee may use its own discretion in making these determinations and the decisions of the selection committee are final.
All submissions must be made by May 30, 2026.
