Balkan Yearbook of European and International Law

The special section of the BYEIL 2024 is devoted to the topic: Sustainability and Law. The special topic aims to contribute to the research field with emerging trends by providing a deeper and more compact understanding of the interplay between law and sustainable goals. The UN adopted the 2030 Agenda that embodied sustainable consumption and production patterns as one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). SDG 16 is directly related to law and includes peace, inclusive societies, access to justice and effective and accountable institutions. The authors made contributions to the various fields related to various SGDs providing insights into the ways in which these goals may inform policymaking, regulatory frameworks and judicial practice.
