14 The collection’s readers might benefit even more so if the essays had included greater references to the Princeton Principles. The forewords and afterwords, however—by Macedo, Mary Robinson (former UN high commissioner for human rights), and Lloyd Axworthy (former Canadian minister of foreign affairs—offer helpful assistance in integrating the essays and tying them to the Princeton Principles.
