Acknowledgements
In the late 1990s, when I completed my doctoral dissertation on treaty
interpretation, I had the great pleasure of being supervised by Professor
Aleksander Peczenik. Sadly, Aleksander is no longer with us, as he
passed away in 2005, far too early, at the age of 67. I devote this book to
his memory. Aleksander was a sharp and energetic mind. He was a
scholar fully dedicated to his work, and a very kind and generous
personality at that. For the rest of my academic life, he will remain a
shining example of a true scholar.
I extend my sincerest gratitude also to those colleagues who at
different occasions engaged with me in discussions of jus cogens issues.
Among these colleagues, I thank especially Eduardo Gill-Pedro, Valentin
Jeutner, Katie Johnston, Uta Bindreiter, Christian Dahlman, David
Reidhav, Anna Nilsson, Charles Jalloh, Eric de Brabandere, Markus
Gunneflo, Letizia Lo Giacco, Daria Davitti, Daniel Costelloe, Scarlet
Wagner, Karol Nowak, Benedikt Pirker and Jennifer Smolka.
