This book was created with the help of many people to whom I address words of special gratitude here. However, I utter the most heartfelt and warmest thanks to an outstanding man and an exceptional scientist: Professor and Judge Bartosz Wojciechowski, who continuously inspired me by his scientific inquiries. Without the unparalleled support from Professor Wojciechowski from the Institute of the Philosophy and Theory of Law at the Faculty of Law, Lodz University and the Lodz Centre of the Theory and Philosophy of Human Rights, work on this book would never have been started nor finished. I am also enormously grateful to Professor and Judge Marek Zirk-Sadowski, Director of the Institute of the Philosophy and Theory of Law at the Faculty of Law, Lodz University in Poland, for all his advice accompanied by such a benevolent judgement. The wonderful atmosphere and scientific tutelage that Professor Zirk- Sadowski delivers to his alumni are one of a kind. I am also very grateful to Professor Gudmundur Alfredsson, former Director of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law in Lund in Sweden for many years, who is an ideal mentor and a great scientist, constantly supporting the implementation of emerging scientific ideas. I am indebted to Professor Alfredsson for his many years of fascinating discussion, criticism and inspiration. They are, for me, a source of reflection, the significance of which goes far beyond the value of this book.
