11 Acknowledgements This book is my doctoral thesis submitted to the Faculty of Law at the University of Copenhagen in September During the course of my research, I have been fortunate to receive the valuable input and support of colleagues and family. A number of persons deserve special thanks. Firstly, I extend my warmest gratitude to Professor Vagn Greve, my supervisor, for his legal incisiveness, engagement and dedication. Over and above the invaluable academic input received, I am also grateful to Professor Greve for introducing me to the civil law lawyer s perspective on the world. Having come from a common law background, I am, no doubt, like so many other common law lawyers, at times blinkered by my own legal background. It has been refreshing to be challenged to view legal issues from outside my own frame of reference and the experience has given me a deeper understanding of the genuine difficulties which can arise in international criminal law due to different legal traditions. The experience has also, hopefully, made me a more rounded international criminal lawyer. I also extend my gratitude to the members of my Ph.D. Committee, Professor Iain Cameron, Uppsala University, Professor William Schabas, National University of Ireland and Professor Ole Spiermann, University of Copenhagen, to Assistant Professor Christoffer Wong, Lund University, who was the opponent in my evaluation seminar on 27 April 2007, as well as to all of the participants in the seminar, for their comments and feedback. Moreover, thanks are due to Professor and Deputy Dean Jørn Vestergaard, Stéphanie Lagoutte, Researcher at the Danish Institute for Human Rights, Peter Vedel Kessing and Anders Henriksen for their valuable feedback to an internal presentation of my findings in Chapter 5 concerning terrorism as a crime against humanity. Likewise, I extend my thanks to Professor Ole Espersen, who was my supervisor in the early stages of my research, until his retirement. In connection with my research, I had the pleasure of attending the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law at the University of Cambridge in the Autumn of 2004, as a Visiting Scholar. I extend my sincere thanks to the Centre and its members for the wonderfully warm and engaging environment during my stay. My gratitude is also due to Det Finneske Legal for its generous financial support in the publication of this book. Finally, I express my deepest appreciation to my husband, Søren and to our children, Shannon and Casper, who never cease to amaze and inspire me and help me to keep sight of the important things in life. xiii
