This Liber Amicorum is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Kurt Siehr on the occasion of his 75th birthday. The collection honours and celebrates Professor Siehr's academic accomplishments, his writings and teachings, a source of continuous inspiration to all those who engage in private international law (conflict of laws) and cultural property law.

The contributors, prominent colleagues and friends from all over the globe, address subject-matters of law-making aspects of private international law, international family law and succession, international litigation and arbitration and international cultural property law.

Without a doubt this Liber is not only a fine tribute to Kurt Siehr, but also a welcome addition to every private international law library.
