Welcome to the Voices of JHIL! Join us, as we celebrate 25 years of the Journal of the History of International Law (JHIL). In this podcast, we reflect on our multi-faceted research published by JHIL. Exploring the past and the recent development of international law, JHIL has provided valuable insights into the potential but also the challenges of the field. In over 25 episodes, we highlight one selected article for each volume and get to know the scholar behind the work.
