And it looks fantastic @NarrelleMorris. Very few understand the monumental amount of work you put in to make this (and subsequent volumes) a reality. I am indebted to you and thrilled that we have reached this stage - confident of course that other volumes will not take as long!
Thanks heaps @regieweiss1 - beautiful words. Thanks for taking the time to write & post them. What an honour to have met you all those years ago and been able to introduce a field of law to you that you have pursued so relentlessly and effectively. Proud to call you a dear friend

@_TimMcCormack@kevinjonheller@MorenoOcampo1@KarimKhanQC Wishing you all the best mate, thank you for your service to human rights and international justice. I still remember as a young international lawyer over 20 years ago being inspired by your commitment to an international system governed by the rule of law. So needed right now.
How wonderful to hear from you after all these years @Lawyers4SD. Working with you and all my other legal assistants was one of the enduring highlights of this time. Keep up all your good work
@_TimMcCormack@kevinjonheller@MorenoOcampo1@KarimKhanQC Your steady and wise counsel added immense value to the work of the Court. I was privileged in assisting you at a critical point in the seminal Lubanga trial which was an experience I will never forget. Thanks Tim.
@NarrelleMorris Been meaning to call you to discuss launch of Vol 1 as well as progress on Vol 2!! Will try to do that in the coming days. Look forward to the chat
