Sadly, this issue of the Review opens with an in memoriam for Mr. Albert Alexander, a former Belgian military magistrate, who was also an Honorary Secretary General of the International Society of Military Law and the Law of War and a former secretary of the Belgian Study Centre for Military Law and the Law of War.

The articles in this issue address the immunities of UN peacekeepers in the absence of a status of forces agreement and universal jurisdiction over crimes against international humanitarian law in Germany.

The new convention on cluster munitions as well as a report of the 2008 NATO legal conference are covered in the section on case-law and recent developments.

Finally, as usual, there is a series of book reviews and advertisements for new publications.
