PER: 2000 Volume 3 No 2

Editorial

Three contributions on divergent themes appear in this issue:

The constitutional limits to the growing volume of discretionary subordinate legislative authority of the South African executive are considered, with comparative references, in the article (in Afrikaans) of Van Rensburg.
Van Schaik addresses the manner in which the pervasive tension between the freedom of expression and the prohibition of racial discrimination is dealt with in the law of the Netherlands, with special reference to the implementation of the Convention on the Eradication of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
