EDITORIAL NOTE
The International Law Reports endeavour to provide within a singleseries of volumes comprehensive access in English to judicial materialsbearing on public international law. On certain topics it is not alwayseasy to draw a clear line between cases which are essentially ones of publicinternational law interest and those which are primarily applications ofspecial domestic rules. For example, in relation to extradition, the Reportswill include cases which bear on the exception of “political offences”or the rule of double criminality, but will restrict the number of casesdealing with purely procedural aspects of extradition. Similarly, while thegeneral rules relating to the admission and exclusion of aliens, especiallyof refugees, are of international legal interest, cases on the procedureof admission usually are not. In such borderline areas, and sometimesalso where there is a series of domestic decisions all dealing with asingle point in essentially the same manner, only one illustrative decisionwill be printed and references to the remainder will be given in anaccompanying note.
Decisions of International TribunalsThe Reports seek to include so far as possible the available decisions ofevery international tribunal, e.g. the International Court of Justice, orad hoc arbitrations between States. There are, however, some jurisdic-tions to which full coverage cannot be given, either because of the largenumber of decisions (e.g. the Administrative Tribunal of the UnitedNations) or because not all the decisions bear on questions of publicinternational law (e.g. the Court of Justice of the European Commu-nities). In these instances, those decisions are selected which appear tohave the greatest long-term value.
Human rights cases. The number of decisions on questions of interna-tional protection of human rights has increased considerably in recentyears and it is now impossible for the Reports to cover them all. Asfar as decisions of international jurisdictions are concerned, the Reportswill continue to publish decisions of the European Court of HumanRights and of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, as well as“views” of the United Nations Committee on Human Rights. Decisionsof national courts on the application of conventions on human rightswill not be published unless they deal with a major point of substantivehuman rights law or a matter of wider interest to public international

xii EDITORIAL NOTE
lawyers such as the relationship of international law and national law, theextent of the right of derogation or the principles of the interpretationof treaties.
International arbitrations. The Reports of course include arbitralawards rendered in cases between States which involve an application ofpublic international law. Beyond this, however, the selection of arbitraldecisions is more open to debate. As these Reports are principally con-cerned with matters of public international law, they will not includepurely private law commercial arbitrations even if they are interna-tional in the sense that they arise between parties of different national-ity and even if one of them is a State. (For reports of a number of suchawards, see Yearbook Commercial Arbitration (ed. Albert Jan Van denBerg, under the auspices of the International Council for CommercialArbitration).) But where there is a sufficient point of contact with publicinternational law then the relevant parts of the award will be reported.Examples of such points of contact are cases in which the character ofa State as a party has some relevance (e.g. State immunity, stabiliza-tion clauses, force majeure) or where there is a choice of law probleminvolving discussion of international law or general principles of law aspossible applicable laws. The same criteria will determine the selectionof decisions of national courts regarding the enforcement of arbitralawards.
Decisions of National TribunalsA systematic effort is made to collect from all national jurisdictions thosejudicial decisions which have some bearing on international law.
Editorial Treatment of MaterialsThe basic policy of the Editors is, so far as possible, to present the materialin its original form. It is no part of the editorial function to impose onthe decisions printed in these volumes a uniformity of approach orstyle which they do not possess. Editorial intervention is limited to theintroduction of the summary and of the bold-letter rubric at the headof each case. This is followed by the full text of the original decision orof its translation. Normally, the only passages which will be omitted arethose which contain either statements of fact having no bearing on thepoints of international law involved in the case or discussion of mattersof domestic law unrelated to the points of international legal interest.The omission of material is usually indicated either by a series of dotsor by the insertion of a sentence in square brackets noting the passageswhich have been left out.

EDITORIAL NOTE xiii
Presentation of MaterialsThe material in the volume has been typeset for this volume. The sourceof all such material is indicated by the reference to the “Report” in squarebrackets at the end of the case. The language of the original decision isalso mentioned there. The bold figures in square brackets in the bodyof the text in non-English cases indicate the pagination of the originalreport.
NotesFootnotes. Footnotes enclosed in square brackets are editorial insertions.All other footnotes are part of the original report.
Other notes. References to cases deemed not to be sufficiently sub-stantial to warrant reporting will occasionally be found in editorial noteseither at the end of a report of a case on a similar point or under anindependent heading.
Digest of CasesWith effect from Volume 75 the decisions contained in the Reports areno longer arranged according to the traditional classification scheme.Instead a Digest of Cases is published at the beginning of each volume.The main headings of the Digest are arranged alphabetically. Under eachheading brief details are given of those cases reported in that volumewhich contain points covered by that heading. Each entry in the Digestgives the name of the case concerned and the page reference, the nameof the tribunal which gave the decision and an indication of the mainpoints raised in the case which relate to that particular heading of theDigest. Where a case raises points which concern several different areasof international law, entries relating to that case will appear under eachof the relevant headings in the Digest. A list of the main headings usedin the Digest is set out at p. xix.
Consolidated Index and TablesA Consolidated Index and a Consolidated Tables of Cases and Treatiesfor volumes 1-80 were published in two volumes in 1990 and 1991. Afurther volume containing the Consolidated Index and ConsolidatedTables of Cases and Treaties for volumes 81-100 was published in 1996.A Consolidated Index, a Consolidated Tables of Cases and a Consol-idated Table of Treaties for volumes 1-125 were published in 2004.Volume 135 contains Consolidated Tables of Cases for volumes 126-135.
