                           A  farewell from  the Editor

                                 Mariano J. AZNAW*




Eight years ago, I had the privilege of being elected Editor-in-Chief of the Spanish
Yearbook of International Law (SYbIL). This was just after the General Assembly of the
'Asociaci6n  Espanola   de  Profesores  de   Derecho   Internacional  y  Relaciones
Internacioanles' (AEPDIRI), held in  September  2013, which renovated  the Editorial
Council  of the SYbIL, but also endorsed some  proposals for this new epoch  of the
Yearbook: to change its structure, to move it to the web with total free access, and to offer
its pages to any scholar willing to work and publish with us.
   Since then, I have been accompanied in this task by several colleagues and good friends
whose  efforts in this editorial endeavour have been indispensable: Elena Conde, Noe
Cornago, Federico  Garau, twin Heredia, Guillermo Palao, Angel Rodrigo, Ana Salinas,
Angel  Sinchez-Legido  and  Marina Vargas. During  the 2013-2020 period, professors
Rodrigo and  Sinchez-Legido  have acted as Assistant Editors. Some other people have
also helped with particular tasks, entrusted by the Editorial Board or myself, such as our
dear colleagues Marta Abeg6n, Ana Maria Maestro and Beatriz Vazquez; or three graduate
students from  Universitat Jaume I   Lid6n Cruselles, Hanan  Laghrich and  Santiago
Bernab6-   who  assisted me. We have  also counted with the help of Kari Friedenson
translating  and revising English texts- and dozens of peer-reviewers who made a silent
but unvaluable task of scientifically crediting the SYbIL among reliable publications in
International Law, today included in several scientific quality indexes.

The publication of several Agorae and Fora -echoing different scientific activities of our
AEPDIRIs   colleagues- gave us the additional opportunity to be assisted by Montse Abad,
Laura  Carballo, Yolanda  Gamarra,  Marzia Scopelliti, Esperanza Orihuela, Jos6  M.
Sobrino, Carlos Jim6nez, Xavier Pons, Joana Abrisketa and Enrique Martinez, all of them
supervising these symposiums   or colloquia, which  discussed subjects such  as the
extraterritorial application of EU Law, the European arctic policy, the secession and self-
determination in current International Law, EU asylum policies or the consequences of
walls in International Law. Along with these activities, the SYbIL organized and published
the result of other scientific activities focusing on Spanish practice on the universal
