[Vik Kanwar is a JSD candidate at NYU, a Westerfield Fellow at Loyola New Orleans College of Law and a contributor to the Opinio Juris On-line Symposium] My sincere thanks to Professor Sean D.

...of the individual as the centre of his claims. Whether one agreed or disagreed with his views, his writings, decisions, and opinions shaped the direction of international legal scholarship, particularly in the Global South.
