3 Hague Just. J. 1 (2008)

handle is hein.journals/hgejcejl3 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL The State of International Law in The Hague Delicate Issues in International Criminal Law Harry Post* This issue of the Hague Justice Journal-Journal judiciaire de La Haye (HJJ-JJH) contains two commentaries on decisions by international criminal tribunals, and two more theoretically focussed contributions emerging from two important practical problems. In addition, Professor Yves Daudet reflects on The Hague Academy of International Law, the oldest of the academic institutions in The Hague. I am pleased to say that this issue is again a happy mixture of contributions by both very senior, experienced authors and by younger talents. Gabri8l Oosthuizen and Robert Schaeffer discuss the ever more pressing issue of finding a solution for carrying out the 'residual functions' of the ad hoc tribunals after their closure. Linda Keller, in what is the longest and most detailed analysis presented in HJJ-JJH since it was first published in 2006, assesses the delicate 'dichotomy' of peace and justice as faced by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in respect to the situation in Northern Uganda. The issue opens, however, with an entirely different subject: The Hague Academy of International Law. Ever since 1923 the summer courses of the Academy have hosted a significant segment of the world's future international lawyers. In particular, the General Courses in both International Public and International Private Law have consistently been taught by the most prominent international lawyers; the more than 325 volumes of the 'Recueil des Cours' (Collected Courses) of the Academy are a lasting testament to the salience of The Hague Academy of International Law's achievement.1 The highly topical 2008 programme demonstrates that the Academy is at present a modern academic institution where the legal subjects most relevant in modern international society are still taught by excellent international lawyers. The programme for this summer is included in the reflection on the history and current state of this venerable institution by Professor Yves Daudet, Secretary General of The Hague Academy. Harry Post is General Editor of the HJJ-JJH and Editor-in-Chief of the Hague Justice Portal. Since January 2008 the Collected Courses of the Hague Academy of International Law/ Recueil de Cours de l'Academie de droit international de La Haye also have been made available in digital form, published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers (a division of Royal Brill Publishers, Leiden); see: www.nijhoffonline.nl.
