Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals
This series presents the latest evidence on gender equality across all 17 Goals, highlighting the progress made since 2015, and focusing on the long road ahead to achieve gender equality. Each edition in this series emphasizes the interlinkages among the goals, the pivotal force gender equality plays in driving progress across the SDGs, and women and girls’ central role in leading the way forward. Women have not recovered lost jobs and income, hunger is on the rise, and school closures threaten girls’ educational gains. Women’s participation in government, research, and resource management remains far from equal. Vulnerable groups of women, including migrants, those with disabilities, and those affected by conflict, are frequently left behind.

The last issue is number 54.

Reports of International Arbitral Awards / Recueil des Sentences Arbitrales
International arbitral and judicial awards are of considerable importance, for they are a "subsidiary means for the determination of the rules of law" as provided in Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice.
