This collection of 36 papers was organized in honor of the human rights scholarship and human rights work at the United Nations of Icelandic professor Gudmundur Alfredsson, whose priority
concern, according to the editors, ＂has been to make sure that smaller or marginalized people could have their own voice heard.＂ The included papers reflect this concern, as well as other
thematic aspects of Alfredsson’s work. They are organized into sections on the right to peace, the United Nations and human rights, human rights at the regional level, indigenous peoples and
minorities, and human rights in national practices. Also included are two appreciations of Alfredsson, one penned by Iceland’s President Ólafur Grímsson. Martinus Nijhoff is an imprint of
