Of special interest in this first number of the year is the article by Dérens who critically analyses the wish of the international community, and in particular of UNMIK, to create a multiethnic Kosovo.

Worth noting is also the article hailing the European Prisons Charter, proposed by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, and not considered a feasible option by the Committee of Ministers.

The articles section is complemented by a "Carnet" which reviews topical cultural events in France such as theatre pieces, films, television programmes, exhibitions, concerts and books, both fiction and non-fiction.
