At the outset, we wish to acknowledge the efforts of the large number of people involved in its publication. This includes the Journal's Managing Editors Jason Allen, Stephanie Mullen, Ana Júlia Maurício, Clara Rauchegger, Joseph Sampson and Matthew Windsor, as well as the individual Editors who contributed their time and effort. It further includes, prominently, Sidney Richards, without whose continued publication and layout expertise this issue could not have been realised. We also wish to thank the members of the Academic Review Board for their ongoing support. Lastly, special thanks are owed to Professor James Crawford AC SC, who has now stood down as the Journal's Senior Treasurer having served in that capacity since its inception. The Journal wishes him all the best for his tenure as a judge of the International Court of Justice at The Hague. This issue is the second of the regular issues of the Journal for 2014. It proceeds in four parts. The first is a collection of general pieces dealing with aspects of international and comparative law. In the first place, Kate Miles engages in a in-depth discussion of the history of international investment law, uncovering its origins in the mercantile environment of the 16th century and the advent of the state-supported trading company. Miles draws on the research she conducted during the preparation of her book, The Origins of International Investment Law: Empire, Environment and the Safeguarding of Capital, published in 2013 by Cambridge University Press and launched at the CJICL Annual Conference in May 2014. Miles is followed by three articles that emerged from papers also given at that Conference.

Maria Papaioannou tackles similar themes, examining human rights and judicial dialogue within the paradigm of indigenous rights, urging the development of common standards within regional systems through cross-jurisdictional interaction. Seshauna Wheatle considers the provocative topic of comparative law and the jus gentium, examining the transnational passage of constitutional principles to fill legal vacuums in different
