  This position is an academic extracurricular activity. The International Organizations Law Review is a peer-reviewed journal that only publishes articles that have passed through an anonymous review process. After the Second World War, the law of international organizations developed as a separate, but not separable, discipline within the sphere of public international law. The International Organizations Law Review functions as a discussion forum for both academics and practitioners active in this discipline. The Review offers two foci: one based in the world of scholarship and the other in the world of practice. Academic scholarship offered in the Review will focus on general and theoretical developments in international institutional law, while practitioner views offer a forum to identify and discuss legal developments within existing international organizations. Editors-in-Chief: Niels M. Blokker & Ramses A. Wessel Managing Editor: Cale Davis Papers for consideration or proposals for special issues should be addressed to Professor Niels Blokker (n.m.blokker@law.leidenuniv.nl), or Professor Ramses Wessel (r.a.wessel@utwente.nl).
