Fundamental Rights and Principles. Pieter van Dijk has dedicated his working life to these values. And what an impression he has made on many people by doing so! Th e portraits and essays in this Liber Amicorum speak for themselves.

We are indebted to Herman Tjeenk Willink, former Vice-President of the Council of State, and Erik Visser, Secretary General of the Council of State, for giving us the go-ahead when we fi rst presented our plans for this book in the Summer of 2011. We are equally indebted to , present Vice- President of the Council of State, who has supported this project since taking up offi ce.

Warm words of gratitude we would like to express towards Adriënne Baars- Schuyt and Laura Henderson who oft en worked miracles through revision and translation respectively. It was a real pleasure to work with them. Marjolein Slaaf-Hanssen and Marloes van Loon provided valuable support along the way, which they are cordially thanked for. Finally, we would like to thank Kris Moeremans at Intersentia for the craft smanship with which he has involved himself in this project. On sending the manuscript to him and his staff , we have every faith in the fi nal result.

Our fi nal words are for Pieter van Dijk. We do hope to honour him with the essays in this volume, a hope we share with all contributors, wishing him rich memories of his working life, many hours of interesting reading and every happiness for the future.
