The Founding Fathers of IJL
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
René Cassin (1887–1976)
“The exploitation of women; mass hunger; disregard for freedom of conscience and for freedom of speech; [and] widespread and racial discrimination – all these evils are far too prevalent to be overlooked.”
Supreme Court Justice of Israel
Haim Cohn (1911-2002)
“The distortion of justice, even if for a good cause, is a deep and contagious disease, which can consume every worthy part of the legal system.”
Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
Arthur Goldberg (1908–1990)
“Law not served by power is an illusion, but power not ruled by law is a menace which our nuclear age cannot afford.”
“Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe.”
– Elie Wiesel
