Orion meetings - YVES BEIGBEDER

A life dedicated to international law
In 1947, at the age of 24, Yves Beigbeder, who had just graduated in law, accompanied his uncle, Henri Donnedieu de Vabres, a French jurist, to the Nuremberg trials. Attending the pleas and convictions of the Nazi leaders was a seminal experience for the young man. International justice as well as the Second World War, with its difficult legacy, became the guiding threads of his entire life, as he recounts in his autobiography published in 2022. Today, at the age of 99, the last witness of the Nuremberg Trial writes a fascinating weekly blog on the situation of the planet, expressing more than ever his conviction of the interest of international justice. "Le temps de la paix, Souvenirs d'un siècle de justice internationale" by Yves Beigbeder, with the collaboration of Pascale Casbi. Preface by Philippe Sands
