Ronald St. John Macdonald, one of the founders of this Yearbook and of the
Canadian Council on International Law, teacher, scholar, judge, and a
tireless promoter of international law around the world, died on 7 September
2006. His contribution is immeasurable and his mark on the Canadian
international legal landscape is indelible. As a tribute, the Yearbook
publishes this testament by Christian Wiktor, a long-time colleague, to
Macdonald's contribution to international legal scholarship.
