Abstract

Christopher Waters, in the Introduction to this book, pays tribute to the considerable contribution that Professor Sandy Ghandhi made to legal scholarship, teaching and advocacy, particularly, though not exclusively, in the area of human rights law. The present author fully agrees with this assessment and has himself drawn upon Ghandhi’s insights in his own writing. He would be remiss, however, not to also express his personal gratitude to Ghandhi for mentoring him when he began his academic career as a lecturer in the School of Law at the University of Reading (2007–12). Intellectually, of course, Ghandhi was first class, but what most remains with the present author after over five years as one of Ghandhi’s mentees is his modesty, as well as his gentle nature and kindness. Perhaps this was because Ghandhi sensed that a commitment to human rights, understood holistically, is not simply about challenging the powerful to “humanise” their rule, though it is surely this, but also extends to caring for specific men and women as one encounters them in one’s daily life, at a personal level. It is a privilege to be able to contribute to this collection of essays in honour of Ghandhi.
