Funding Acknowledgements

Professor of Law, Melbourne Law School, The University of Melbourne. The support of Australian Research Council Project DP0987850 is gratefully acknowledged. The research assistance provided by Anne Kallies, Michael Power and the Melbourne Law School Research Service is also gratefully acknowledged. My long-time colleague Shaun McVeigh offered a valuable sounding board for many ideas, providing an account of law against which to test the direction of my thought. I would like to thank the Editorial Committee of the Melbourne Journal of International Law for their patience and assistance in the completion of this work. The article also benefitted from the insightful comments of referees on an earlier version. Finally, the article adopts a style that is meant to challenge the view that there is a sovereign, authoritative meaning to text (and law) that is readily discernible!
