| abstract | A discussion of evolving principles in diff erent areas of public international
law is a most fi tting tribute to Karel Wellens for he is not only an
eminent international lawyer with an eye for its evolving dimension, but he
is also a principled man willing to put his foot down when he is convinced
that the right principles are not being applied in the interpretation of the law.
As a member of the Dutch government’s Advisory Committee on Issues of
Public International Law, I had the privilege of co-writing a dissenting opinion
with Karel Wellens, the chairman, in the Advisory Report on Humanitarian
Intervention, which was jointly produced with the Advisory Council on
International Aff airs (AIV). |
