From the Editors...

The centerpiece in this issue of the EJIL is the symposium devoted to the work and person of Hans Kelsen - a giant of law and a giant of international law. Several articles deal with important aspects of his work - we feature fully on line the article by Tony Carty on the continuing influence of Hans Kelsen on international law. There are abstracts of all other articles. In the regular (paper) edition of the EJIL there is, among others, a fascinating account of Kelsen and his Viennese contemporaries as well as a discussion with Norberto Bobbio and Danilo Zolo on Kelsen. A full bibliography is also provided.

Volume 9 (2) also features a continuation of our ongoing symposium on the changing structure of international law with contribution by Georges Abi-Saab, Bruno Simma & Andreas Paulus and by Pierre-Marie Dupuy.

The Current Survey provides - fully on line - the recent survey of all international trade law developments adopted by the European Union as well as a commentary, by Professor Joel Trachtman, on the four most recent decisions of the Appellate Body of the WTO. Professor Trachtman will have on-going responsibility for the Appellate Body commentary.

All book reviews are fully on line and include two review essays on the Hague General Course of Georges Abi-Saab (by Martti Koskenniemi) and on the volume Transitional Justice - How Emerging Democracies Reckon with Former Regimes edited by Neil Kritz (by Steven Ratner).

We also draw your attention to the correspondence feature - fully on line - which has several interesting contributions.

Finally, we remind you of all the usual features of the Web EJIL - principally the archive, which allows you to search all back current surveys, book reviews and the like.

Enjoy.
