NEW EDITORINCHIEF
Due to the unfortunate passing of Professor Fried van Hoof in May 2014 (and as
announced in the Ed itorial to the June edition), the Netherlands Quarterly of Human
Rights has had to appoint a new Editor-in-Chief. Fried was involved w ith the NQHR

is greatly felt by the Board. To carry on Fried’s work, the NQHR Executive Board
has appointed Dr Antoine Buyse as the Editor-in-Chief from June 2014. Antoine is
an Associate Professor at SIM, Utrecht University, and has been a member of the
Executive Board for several years. He will also be the successor of Professor Jenny
Goldschmidt as director of the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights (SIM), the
Quarterly’s home base, as of September.
