Abstract
Amsterdam Law Forum (ALF) is the student-run 'International Law Journal' of VU University. Every year ALF publishes a winter, spring, and summer issue. The journal consists of three sections; scientific articles, opinion articles, and commentaries. As of this year, ALF also creates a section for inaugural speeches. In addition, ALF hosts a conference in spring with a relevant legal theme, where renowned speakers are invited to share their perspectives. Overall, ALF is a topical journal that provides a platform for established scholars and young academics to share knowledge, opinions and experiences and to make contributions to the international law discourse. Staff, PhD students and master students who have written a very good thesis are invited to submit an article to ALF. What is learned in the cradle is carried to the tomb: we are looking forward to sharing your articles on our website!
Highlights
The summer 2011 issue of Amsterdam Law Forum marks a new start for the journal: a shift from thematic issues towards publications that fit within the scope of international and transnational law, with a focus on security and criminal law
The scientific section of the current issue very well reflects the broad range of issues that Amsterdam Law Forum wishes to address

Summary
The summer 2011 issue of Amsterdam Law Forum marks a new start for the journal: a shift from thematic issues towards publications that fit within the scope of international and transnational law, with a focus on security and criminal law. We embrace traditional topics of international security, like war and peace, as well as more contemporary and sometimes less obvious security issues such as technology, food and the environment, among others. We cannot ignore the fact that security and justice are closely related, which is why articles on topics of international criminal law are considered to fit our new overarching theme.
