The German Yearbook of International Law, founded in 1948 by Rudolf Laun and Hermann von Mangoldt as the Jahrbuch für Internationales Recht, is Germany's oldest yearbook in the field of public international law.

The journal features a 'Forum' for which a prominent scholar of international law is invited to write a stand-alone article and a 'Focus' section for which a group of experts are invited to write articles examining various aspects of a topic set in advance by the editors.

Recent Focus sections have examined climate change (2010), regional human rights mechanisms (2009), poverty as a challenge to international law (2008) and German approaches to international law (2007).
