1 The previous issue of the Review (No. 304, January-February 1995, pp. 4–38) gives a detailed account of the meeting of the Intergovernmental Group of Experts and its recommendations.
2 The Standing Commission has so far selected four items of substance, namely:
— International humanitarian law: from law to action — Report on the follow-up to the International Conference for the Protection of War Victims;
— Protection of civilian populations in time of war;
— Principles and response in international humanitarian assistance and protection;
— Strengthening the capacity to assist and protect the most vulnerable.
Further details on the topics to be discussed under the above headings are now being prepared and will be presented at the meeting of the Standing Commission on 1 and 2 May 1995. The Review will of course keep readers up to date in this regard.
