For 40 years Lindy Melman has been a publisher in heart and soul. Some of the authors she encountered along the way have dedicated an essay to her to celebrate this milestone.

This book contains essays written by leading human rights and international law scholars from different parts of the world, discussing a wide range of topics, from indigenous peoples to the persistent relevance of the travaux préparatoires of the Genocide Convention and the conflict between EU law and international investment law.
