The Cyprus Review invites submissions for a Special Section dedicated to the memory of Dr Kypros Chrysostomides (1942-2022) on Cyprus and International Law.

The Republic of Cyprus has been a unique study in Public International Law due to the Cyprus Problem, one of the intractable international conflicts. Kypros Chrysostomides was a distinguished lawyer whose research work focused on the international law aspects of the Cyprus Problem. His book “The Republic of Cyprus. A Study in International Law” remains the leading analysis on the issue nearly three decades after the original Greek edition was published, and more than two decades after the publication of the English edition. In 2022, Kypros Chrysostomides was honoured with the “Lifetime Achievement Award” in the Cyprus Review Annual Book Awards (CRABA 2022) at the University of Nicosia, in recognition of his significant body of published work, especially on the international aspects of the Cyprus Question. The special section, dedicated to his memory, purports to examine aspects relevant to the application of International Law in the Republic of Cyprus. Although we seek predominantly legal contributions, we welcome papers which apply interdisciplinary approaches between International Law and International Relations.

A non-exhaustive list of potential areas of consideration may be found below:

• Crisis and continuity in the Republic of Cyprus
• The Turkish invasion of 1974 and its effects
• The occupation of northern Cyprus
• The legal status of the “TRNC”
• The UN Buffer Zone
• The UN and the Republic of Cyprus
• International Law and the negotiations for the solution of the Cyprus Problem
• International law aspects of the Cypriot accession to the EU
• The ECHR and the Cyprus Problem
• The application of international treaties in the Republic of Cyprus
