The ZaöRV has been published since 1929 under the auspices of the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, Heidelberg. Its English name is Heidelberg Journal of International Law (HJIL). The journal is a forum for discussing fundamental and current issues of public international law, European Union law, comparative public law, and occasionally topics in the domestic public law of EU member states and beyond. Its ambition is to publish contributions by authors from all over the world, with a wide gamut of scholarly methods and outlooks. The journal is bilingual (English and German). All German pieces are made visible to that audience by their English abstracts and translated titles.
