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.

Dear Ben, From the first day we met, you were an inspiration to me and us young Germans in Rome. Your passion for justice but also peace, reconciliation and forgiveness was unparalleled. Your dignity in promoting my countries’ leadership role on international justice after your own and your families’ suffering at its very hands and your constant reminder that ‘Never Again’ is not just a mere slogan but a daily responsibility to be met set lasting examples for my career and my personal life. You made it easy for us young Germans to be on the right side of history. Thank you for this. And thank you for your legacy, which will leave on in all of us. No Peace Without Justice. No Justice without Ben. You will be thoroughly missed. Rest In Peace Ben. Hansjoerg
