Summary
This volume is the product of a working group on the international rule of law and international law in domestic courts, which commissioned a number of chapters on post-conflict situations.
The editors wish to thank the authors who responded to the invitation to participate in this project, some of whom are promising new voices in their field and others who are established experts, but all of whom have acquired a deep and personal first-hand knowledge of the legal cultures they write about. The Rule of Law Working Group also deserves acknowledgment for the initial conceptual discussions that led to the present collection. Aristotle Constantenides and Cyprus Law School deserve thanks for accommodating the first meeting in Nikosia; Rosemary Byrne, likewise, hosted a meeting at Trinity College in Dublin. Special thanks go to Martine van Trigt for organization and support not only of a meeting in Amsterdam but throughout the life of the project. Sincere thanks also to Belinda Macmahon and Scarlet Wagner for their editorial work on the manuscript.
