We would like to express our gratitude to Emily Braggins and the staff at Hart Publishing for their kind assistance during the production of this book. We are also very grateful to the staff at the International Institute for the Sociology of Law in O?ati. Their support in the organization of the workshop ‘How Does legal Pluralism Interplay with the Promotion of Human Rights?’, which took place on 2 and 3 May 2013, is very much appreciated. In particular, we wish to thank Malen Gordoa for her invaluable help before and during the meeting. The exchanges and reflections that took place during that encounter led to the publication of this volume. We would like to thank the participants in the workshop, most of whom are the authors of this collection, for their insightful contributions during the discussions and for their commitment to this project and scholarly debate. Finally, we acknowledge with gratitude a grant from the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) for the research project ‘Reconciling Human Rights and Customary Justice’, and of the Belgian Federal Public Planning Service Science Policy (BELSPO) for the research project ‘The Global Challenge of Human Rights Integration: Toward a Users’ Perspective’.
