EtYIL 2019 comes out while the world is in the midst of a new
coronavirus pandemic that has infected millions and killed
thousands of people without distinction as to age, race, colour, or
creed. As an attack on all humanity, Covid-19, the disease caused
by the coronavirus, has challenged the fitness of the global order
as never before, and its institutional and normative frameworks
have been found wanting. As is often the case in such
circumstances, when the WHO is denied resources to assist those
countries or the WTO is unable to guarantee access to Covid-19
medical supplies and protective equipment, it is the poorest
nations that suffer the most. EtYIL's mission is to provide a
platform for purpose-oriented scholarly analysis and debate on
issues of particular significance for African countries such as
Covid-19, disputes over Nile water resources, and Ethiopia-Eritrea
relations. Although the pandemic came too late for this issue of
EtYIL, we have managed to include two important articles that
examine the subject from geostrategic and legal perspectives. EtYIL
2019 also addresses a number of other topical issues, including the
responsibility of the UN Security Council (UNSC) in climate-related
risks to least developed countries, the Global South's approach to
environmental protection, the challenges of international
regulation of arms brokering, and the contributions of Martin
Luther King, Jr. to Pan-Africanism and international human rights
law. Finally, the Yearbook also continues its coverage of regional
issues such as the evolving Ethiopia-Eritrea relations, Djibouti's
accession to the ICSID Convention; the trilateral negotiations
between Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt over the Grand Ethiopian
Renaissance Dam and the U.S. meddling and the role of the UNSC on
the issue have also been covered. As before, our contributors come
from all over the world, to all of whom we extend our sincere
appreciations.

EtYIL 2018 comes at a time when multilateralism and its
underpinning norms of international law and institutions are under
siege. At the same time, in 2018, Africa stood out for upholding
multilateralism and international law. From the adoption of the
Agreement establishing the African Continental Free Trade Area to
the signing of peace agreements that brought to an end two decades
of hostilities between Eritrea and Ethiopia, 2018 was indeed a
remarkable year for international law in Africa. EtYIL 2018 covers
some of these issues, including the Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims
Commission decisions on jus ad bellum, jus in bello, evidentiary
and procedural matters and the role of arbitration in upholding the
international rule of law. Such new developments as the lifting of
UN sanctions against Eritrea and the agreements signed between
Eritrea and Ethiopia are also covered in this volume. The volume
further devotes considerable attention to other legal issues
including: the use and misuse of European patent law to the
detriment of developing countries' interests, sharing transboundary
resources, production sharing agreements on extractives , evolving
rules governing economic relations between Africa and the European
Union in the context of Brexit, contract-farming in the African
cocoa and chocolate industry, the International Criminal Court and
human rights law, and cyber-attacks and the role of international
law in tackling them. These chapters, authored by experts from
Africa, Asia, Europe and North America not only bring new and
diverse voices to the international law discourse; they also
contribute to EtYIL's overarching goal of contributing to the
effort to rebalance the narrative of international law.

The second volume of EtYIL brings together a number of articles and
other contributions that, collectively, take EtYIL's original
mission of helping rebalance the narrative of international law
another step forward. Like the first volume, this book presents
scholarly contributions on cutting-edge issues of international law
that are of particular interest to Ethiopia and its sub-region, as
well as Africa and developing countries more generally. The major
issues tackled include the interplay between national and
international in the promotion and regulation of foreign direct
investment in Ethiopia; the regulatory framework for the
exploitation and development of petroleum resources and relevant
arbitral jurisprudence in the field; the role of international law
in ensuring the equitable sharing of transboundary resources, such
as the waters of the River Nile, or in the delimitation of the
continental shelf in the region; the efforts to establish the
Continental Free Trade Area in Africa and the lessons that can be
learnt from prior experiments; Africa's policy towards the
International Criminal Court and the feasibility of alternative
means of serving justice in the case of grave crimes; and the UN's
peace-keeping operations in their North-South context. The issues
addressed in the various contributions are mostly at the heart of
live political, diplomatic and judicial activities today, and as
such promise to shape the future of international law in the region
and beyond. This volume not only takes a significant step further
towards EtYIL's mission, but also enriches it with fresh insights
from perspectives that are not common in international law
scholarship to this day.
