Editorial Leadership and Board
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Maya Khater will serve as the founding Editor-in-Chief of AJME.
Dr. Khater is an Associate Professor in Public International Law at the College of Law at Abu Dhabi University and brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the journal. She holds a Ph.D. from Damascus University and has held academic and leadership positions at several universities, including Al Kalamoon University, Dar Al Uloom University, and Al Yamamah University. Her extensive administrative experience includes roles as a vice dean and assistant dean, demonstrating her strong leadership capabilities.
A highly respected scholar, Dr. Khater has an impressive publication record, including four books and numerous research papers in peer-reviewed journals. Her areas of expertise—public international law, human rights, and international criminal law—are perfectly aligned with the journal's scope. As an experienced author, reviewer for legal journals, and qualified science editor, Dr. Khater is exceptionally well-suited to lead AJME to academic excellence.
Under Dr. Khater's expert leadership, we will assemble a distinguished international editorial team. Following the successful model of our flagship journal, Access to Justice in Eastern Europe, we will be forming an Editorial Board, an Advisory Board, and teams of Section, Managing, and Language Editors.
A key pillar of our strategy is to ensure this team is comprised of highly respected experts and leading professionals from both the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This bi-regional composition is crucial to our mission of fostering a rich, comparative dialogue and bridging the legal scholarship of these two vital regions.
We are confident that this unique blend of diverse perspectives and deep professional expertise will drive the journal's success and ensure its significant contribution to the global discourse on justice!
We will soon announce an open call for applications for these positions and invite scholars and practitioners to join us in this exciting new venture.
