Welcome to the APRIL 2021 issue of ANZSIL Perspective.
My editorial team and I are delighted by the launch in February of the ANZSIL Perspective online platform www.anzsilperspective.com where you can find all our latest Perspectives and our archive.
As ANZSIL Perspecive continues to grow, we look forward to monthly or fast turnaround contributions which can particularly reflect our regional representation in international law practice and academia.
We are particularly keen to encourage book reviews as well as articles.
This month we are very pleased to have two excellent perspectives on the requirement that the child’s best interest be paramount where the State is taking any action that affects children, including when it comes to decisions about detention and the protection of individuals from discrimination in the context of automated decisions..
As you know, in my role as editor I am keen to encourage contributions from across our membership and the wider international legal community, especially early career researchers such as doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers and legal professionals who have recently entered practice. I am also pleased that our contributions in 2020 included discussion and responses to earlier publications so that ANZSIL Perspective is also contributing to continued debate and education. I look forward to the submissions for May 2021.
Felicity Gerry QC (Editor)
