EJIL: News!

Joseph Weiler Steps Down as Editor in Chief of the European Journal of International Law

After 17 years, Joseph Weiler will step down as EJIL Editor in Chief after the publication of this issue (35(4)). As he wrote to the Board:

My decision to retire is not prompted by fatigue or loss of interest in the function of Co-Editor in Chief. Quite the contrary. It is hard work but I continue to enjoy it and want to believe that I am still effective in the role. But it has always been my belief that one should leave before those with whom you work are sick and tired of you (I hope this is the case) and before oneself is sick and tired of the role, so that one can look back with fondness and even miss one’s role.

Three special productions mark this momentous occasion in the life of the journal: an EJIL: Live!; a written record of a longer, more personal interview; and a special ‘The Last Page’.
