Max Huber: A portrait in outline

Abstract

The introductory chapter should be written last - That was what Richard Baxter taught us, his students. It is the best way to provide a general overview and to highlight the main points of the other chapters. Dietrich Schindler, Jost Delbrü, Oliver Diggelmann, Daniel Khan, Ole Spiermann and Yves Sandoz have each shed light on Max Huber as a person and on his work. This introduction seeks to fill in certain traits in the portrait of Max Huber that could not be included in the individual studies. I also discuss what Max Huber's work means to us in today's world. © EJIL 2007; all rights reserved.
