Uluslararası Suçlar Ve Tarih / International Crimes And History (UST / ICH) is an annual bilingual (English and Turkish) peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of inter-communal, inter-ethnic, inter-religious, and international conflicts, crimes, and conflict resolution practices in the past and the present. For twelve years of its publication, the UST / ICH has been a platform for the scholarly investigation of conflicts, crimes, and conflict resolution practices that have occurred in the Balkans, the Caucasus, the Eurasia region, and the Middle East. The UST / ICH is indexed in the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey-Turkish Academic Network and Information Center (TUBİTAK-ULAKBİM), and EBSCO and DergiPark Akademik.

For more information, visit the website of the ICH at http://avim.org.tr/tr/Dergiler/Uluslararasi-Suclar-ve-Tarih-International-Crimes-and-History.

The UST / ICH calls for papers that focus on past and present-day ethnic, religious and national conflicts in the Balkans, the Caucasus, the Eurasia region, and the Middle East from sociological, political, historical and legal perspectives, and reviews of recently published books on these subjects for its 20^th issue that will be published in December 2019. Given that the year 2019 marks the 30^th anniversary of the emigration of the Turks in Bulgaria in 1989, the UST / ICH will give priority to the studies that focus on the issues related to voluntary and forced population movements in the Balkans throughout the history.

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 15 September 2019.
