One of his abiding passions was to better track and understand the actual effect of international human rights on the real lives of people. This concern led him to devise this far-reaching study on the effect of the core United Nations human rights treaties.
Christof’s instinctive warmth and genuine kindness stemmed from an abundant generosity and sense of humanity. His enthusiasm was boundless and infectious, leaving untouched no one whose life intersected with his.
We, the editors of and contributors to this book, dedicate this study and publication to his memory.
May this be a part of his enduring legacy.
