Ben Ferencz

March 11, 1920 - April 7, 2023

On April 7, 2023, the world lost Ben Ferencz, an extraordinary man and a trailblazer in the field of international criminal law. Ben's role as a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Tribunal after the Second World War marked the beginning of a long career dedicated to promoting the international rule of law. The work of the Permanent Mission of Liechtenstein to the UN was greatly enriched by our longstanding friendship with Ben. As we mourn our role model, mentor, partner and friend, we will honor his legacy by heeding his call to “never give up” in the fight for a more just and peaceful world by strengthening the international rule of law. Rest in peace, Ben - thank you for being our friend and our inspiration. We invite others to join us in sharing their memories and reflections on Ben's exceptional life and work.

Law not war, there is no clearer way to put it. I was deeply impressed by Ben Ferencz, by the power of his words, the kindness of his heart, the determination of his soul. He will inspire us to live up to the ideals he dedicated his life to. Confronted with the worst horrors humanity had ever witnessed, one had the choice between justice and vengeance. To choose justice requires infinitely more courage and wisdom. Rest in Justice and Peace dear Ben, as both go hand in hand. We will do our best to honour your legacy in these troubled times.
