Inscription reads August 29, 2005 To Diane Orentlicher: With great respect and best wishes. Jeremy J. Stone. Diane Orentlicher is a professor of international law at American University's Washington College of Law in Washington, D.C., and serves as Co-Faculty Director of its Center on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law. In the mid-1990s, she founded the law school's War Crimes Research Office, which provides legal analysis in support of international and transitional justice initiatives. In the early 1990s, Orentlicher helped develop the legal framework for the field of transitional justice. In 1991, she published a seminal article on the international legal obligations of governments to address mass atrocities of a prior government. In the early 2000's, she served as the United Nations Independent Expert on combating impunity, updating the UN Set of Principles to Combat Impunity, a key "soft law" instrument guiding States' efforts to address serious human rights violations in light of their international legal obligations. Since the mid-1990s, Orentlicher has also been involved in the field of international criminal justice, and on accountability for war crimes. She provided legal analysis to the first Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. Jeremy J. Stone (November 23, 1935 - January 1, 2017) was president of the Federation of American Scientists from 1970 to 2000, where he led that organization's advocacy initiatives in arms control, human rights, and foreign policy. In 2000, he was succeeded as president by Henry Kelly. Stone continued his work at a new organization called Catalytic Diplomacy. Stone was the son of the journalist I. F. Stone. Jeremy Stone was a renowned, almost Zelig-like figure in the world of public interest activists, offers his antic, wry and moving memoirs of a life spent trying to make the world a better place. There probably isn't another human being whose been involved with more issues as an activist than Jeremy Stone. Stone never intended it to be that way. Starting out as an academic mathematician in search of a job, he was asked by the Hudson Institute to finish writing a report on nuclear weapons for which the Institute had a grant but no writer. Stone became fascinated in the issue, and he ditched mathematics and began a life as an activist. As any reader of this book will notice, Jeremy is the sort of person who, once interested in a particular issue, becomes a bit obsessed. During his tenure as head of the 2, 000 member Federation of American Scientists, Stone has been involved with just about every major activist issue of the past quarter century. He was crucial in freeing Sakharov; influential in getting arms control treaties signed; the secret force behind the arrest of the Shining Paths leader; the man who helped save Cambodia from a return of the Khmer Rouge; the scientist who discredited the sonic boom scare; and the one person who just might have an idea that brings peace to Kosovo. John F. Kennedy once said, Not every man can make a difference, but every man should try. Jeremy Stone took JFK up on his word, and this book is a wonderful memoir of his wild, sometimes successful, heartening life.
