Oratio
Editorial
In this 11th issue of PER a rich diversity of topical themes are addressed by seven able authors: judicial impartiality, the legal position of Muslims, access to health information, environmental governance, the development of the common law under the Constitution and the ius ad bellum. The background of the authors varies from membership of the Bench of the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa, to local and Nigerian scholarship. All of these contributions have been considered thoroughly by our reviewers and found to be commendable reading. We have included a new section called orationes, which are addresses delivered by prominent speakers at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University, South Africa. Our readers are invited to become participants in this international forum on constitutionalism and the law relating to development.
The technical editing of this edition was done by Dr. T du Plessis.
