Twelve decisions rendered in 1966 have been selected and translated by Mr Otto Lampe. Cases for subsequent years have also been prepared by him and by Dr Christoph von Katte. These will be spread in chronological order over the next few volumes of these Reports and will bring the German jurisprudence relatively up to date. The editor Express our thanks to these two scholars for their capable and continuing contribution, as well as to Professor Dr R. Bernhardt, the Director of the Max-Planck-Institut fur Auslandisches Offentliches Recht und Volkerrecht, Heidelberg, and to the Instituteitself, for their helpfulness in permitting us to draw heavily upon the recent volumes of the Fontes Iuris Gentium containing extracts from the most pertinent German decisions. It is desirable, though, to explain that the manner in which German decisions are published in Germany does not always allow of their presentation in the International Law Reports in as complete a form as that of cases from other countries. It has been our editorial practice normally to publish decisions in full, including statements of fact, except where the facts or legal discussion involve lengthy consideration of matters having little bearing on international law. German decisions, however, are rarely publicly reported in full and acces to the original texts of decisions is often difficult or impossible. We have therefore thought it appropriate to present the German materials in much the same way as they appear in the sources to which we have access-a practice found generally acceptable in the jurisdiction from which they emanate. 0aInternational Law Reports
