- This monograph manuscript was due for submission to OUP by 1 June 2020. The closure of libraries in the first lockdown (from 17 March 2020) meant that Suteu could not access older publications unavailable electronically for checking and updating references to finalise the manuscript. Without access to libraries, Suteu ordered relevant sources herself, such as from OUP India, which meant being subject to publisher delivery delays in light of pandemic-related constraints. She obtained key resources at the start of August. OUP has confirmed that they would have finalised production by November 2020 had the original timetable been met.

- The monograph is the culmination of 9 years of research by its author. The book offers a unique democratic critique of constitutional entrenchment of eternity clauses (unamendable provisions), adopting an interdisciplinary approach at the intersection of constitutional theory, comparative constitutional law, constitutional history, and constitutional politics. The book draws on extensive primary sources, including examining constitutional provisions, legislation, and case law from over 100 jurisdictions spanning 5 continents and accessed in 7 original languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Romanian, Italian, and Portuguese).
