A new issue of the Goettingen Journal of International Law has just been published. In Volume 4, No 3 (2012), you may find eight different articles, the first one is written by Jochen von Bernstoff and analyzes Georg Jellinek’s ideas on State sovereignty as well as his concept of ‘auto-limitations’ in the 20th century. Further on, there are two articles on the principles of international criminal law, and three articles on the impact of human rights on international and national developments. Amongst these three is the article written by the winner of the annual Student Essay Competition, Roee Ariav, and an article that deals with the issue of so called ‘land grabbing’ in Sub-Saharan Africa, written by Semahagn Gashu Abebe.
