I want to take the opportunity to congratulate Major Navdeep Singh and Colonel Franklin Rosenblatt for coordinating and encouraging an extraordinary dialogue among the contributors on this subject. I do not doubt that this book will turn to be a piece of leading literature... —Diego García-Sayán, UN Special Rapporteur on Independence of Judges & Lawyers
