We are proud to announce the publication of the 25th issue of Uluslararası Suçlar ve Tarih / International Crimes and History (UST / ICH), marking another milestone in contributing to the fields of international law and historical analysis. This issue is particularly significant as it occurs during a year defined by major geopolitical shifts and legal developments, reflecting our ongoing commitment to deepening the understanding of complex international conflicts, crimes, and conflict resolution mechanisms.

This landmark issue includes the special section titled "Historical Legacies and Their Impact on Modern Legal Systems and Identity Politics," which explores how historical inheritances influence contemporary global issues, with a focus on colonialism, ethnic and cultural conflicts, and their impacts on current human rights concerns across regions like the Levant, Asia, and Africa.

In a profound analysis titled "The Palestinian Issue and International Justice," Ambassador (Ret.) Oğuz Demiralp explores the dynamic interplay between power politics and the rule of law, illuminated by the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. Gözde Kılıç YAŞIN in her article, "The Evolution of Genocide Law: A Study on the Role of the Bosnian War," critically assesses how the Bosnian War shaped the application of the Genocide Convention and its broader impacts on the international legal framework. The first research article in our special section, "Dehumanization's Ancient Origins and Its Impact on Enlightenment" by Soner Tauscher and Yiğit Cem Eskicioğlu, investigates the roles of prominent Western philosophers in shaping views on race, slavery, and human nature, linking these views to modern racism and dehumanization. Yekta K. Noyan provides insights into the colonial experiences in early 20th-century South Africa compared to earlier German colonial policies in "Colonialism, The German Experience and Thoughts on History – A Case Study of South Africa." Yusuf Halil Calip offers a detailed analysis in "The Evolution and Reasons of a Distinct Hong Kong Identity Through Historical Processes," discussing how unique laws and agreements have shaped Hong Kong’s distinct path from mainland China's policies.

As we reflect on these scholarly contributions, we extend our gratitude to our readers and contributors who have been part of our journey and invite you all to explore these compelling discussions in our 25th issue.
