This collection takes its title from Brownlie's personal contribution to the development of the subject. His commitment to international law as a system for the regulation of affairs between states has long been characterized by a strong sense of ideals, political and human, but also by an awareness of what law is in practice, what is achievable, and what remains to be done.
