Currently, there is no option for admin users to create new instrument/Jurisprudence/Publication as we had on the legacy. Below is what we could do with an excel macro we had when we were drafting DCDs on excel spreadsheets.

 

In the Article citator, there was an option to “Add Instrument”:

 Once “Add Instrument” was selected, the following window popped up where the users could add the instrument title as well as the instrument type from a drop-down menu.  

 When the new instrument was added, it appeared under the “Referenced Instrument” section and it could be selected.  

Here is how the newly created instrument showed up in the macro:

 

Example: BIT: Bahrain/Iran (2002)

 

 

 

 In the Jurisprudence citator, there existed an option to “Add a document to the List”: 

 By selecting this option, the following window popped up where the users could add the document title as well as the full citation, the category, and the type of documents. 

Once the document was added, it appeared under the “Jurisprudence Catalogue” where users could select the new document from the list.  

 Here is how the newly created Jurisprudence showed up in the macro:

 

Example: Case of OAO Neftyanaya Kompaniya Yukos v. Russia, Application no. 14902/04, ECtHR 2014

 In the publication citator, there was an option to “Add Publication”: 

Once “Add Publication” was selected, the following window popped up where the users could add the short title as well as the full citation and the publication category from a drop-down menu:

Once the new publication was added, it appeared under the “publication being cited” list where the users could select the publication. 

Here is how the newly created Publication showed up in the macro:

 

Example: Sinclair, A. C. "Investment Protection for "Mailbox Companies" under the 1994 Energy Charter Treaty" (2005) 

On app.islg, there needs to be an option to add new entries with the next available UIN in a way that admin users be directed to the relevant Master Lists i.e. Treaties (for Article Citator), Dispute Documents & Non-Investment Treaty Documents (for Jurisprudence Citator) & Publications (for Publication Citator)) to add new entries without having to exit the HTML. Also, we need an identifier for new entries so that whoever reviews the DCDs could distinguish between the existing and new entries in order to check the consistency of the new entries with ISLG protocols.

 

Thanks,
