This project would not have been possible without the collaboration of many people. We would like to thank all our contributors, who produced their chapters amid many demands on their time. They were very gracious about the editorial comments and suggestions and worked with us to ensure that the central theme of the book was highlighted in their chapters. We owe a particular debt of gratitude to Dilara Reznikas, who worked tirelessly to ensure that all the chapters were formatted properly and were ready by the deadline. Without her, we would have been lost. Her dedication and attention to detail, as well as her editorial skills, were invaluable. We are most grateful to Professor Benjamin J. Richardson and Judge Christopher Weeramantry for their support with this challenging project. We would also like to acknowledge the support of Cambridge University Press, especially John Berger, in publishing this manuscript. Finally, we would all like to thank our families. This work would not have been possible without their continuing patience and ongoing support.
