its Institute of International Relations, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, as well
as some private law firms. Keeping the Yearbook as open as possible, we want it to
be not only a Czech but also a European and international project, the Prague-based
platform for a dialogue of scholars and practitioners of international law.
This publication appears thanks to a financial subsidy to the Czech Society of
International Law from the Council of Scientific Societies of the Czech Republic.
We are also grateful for generous financial support from the Prague branch of the law
firm Weil, Gotshal and Manges.
We wish that this volume of the Czech Yearbook will also find many readers, and
we are looking forward to new authors and new contributions for the next volume.
