Summary
Since 1984, I have read and admired the work of Terrence E. Paupp as he proceeded to author one significant work after another. All of these works were as one in their unusual worth and genuine merit. To date, many of Paupp’s major studies regarding Latin America and human rights concerns have been published under the auspices of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs (COHA). In my capacity as COHA’s director, I have encountered the work of scores of working scholars as a result of being in the unique position to pick and choose from the hundreds of publications that have passed over my desk. In fact, there has barely been a race when one of Professor Paupp’s studies has come across my desk because each has routinely been the best in fair battles over the years. All told, Paupp’s oeuvre represents a remarkable compilation of ideas for understanding the important role of humanism and international law in the relationship between the Global North and the Global South. COHA has benefited greatly from Paupp’s diligence as a forceful researcher and his innovative and insightful work on human rights. This includes his prolific ability to address and see through issues involving the dynamics and intricacies of applicable components of law in the making of international society. Also of note is his uncanny ability to elucidate on struggles between the Global South and the Global North. In this Manichean struggle as Paupp sees it, the potential for good, inclusive, and humane governance calls out to be protected with a good deal of originality.
