In this section you can find the publications by the Institute. The section is divided as follows:

  • Yearbooks: full text of the Yearbooks from 1873 until 2000
  • Resolutions: resolutions of the Institute from 1873 until present. The resolutions of the Institute have been published only in French until the Session of Grenade (1956) after which also English versions are available (1957 – present).
  • Reports: the reports that were published in the Yearbooks from 2007 until 2017.
  • Declarations: contains the two declarations issued by the Institute on the use of force (2003) and piracy (2009)

Search tips (especially for the Yearbooks):

  • If you want to search by keyword through all publications, use a general search engine, e.g. Google, go to ‘advanced settings’, and narrow your search results by site ‘idi-iil.org’
  • For some systems, the Yearbook loads much faster in the Internet Explorer browser (please note that due to the size it sometimes takes some time before the file can be opened)
  • For the Yearbooks from 1873 to 1971, the table of contents can be found at the end of the book, whereas from 1973 onward the table of contents can be found at the beginning
