With a view to preserving and disseminating the thought of Ren\u00e9 Cassin, the Ren\u00e9 Cassin Foundation – International Institute of Human Rights is responsible for preserving his memory, through his personal archives deposited at the Archives Nationales in Paris. Archives Nationales<\/a><\/strong>. It also intends to develop a documentary database, in order to gather written or visual testimonies concerning Ren\u00e9 Cassin and to facilitate research into his commitment to peace and human rights.<\/p>\n

When Ren\u00e9 Cassin was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1968, he delivered a speech of thanks<\/a><\/strong> and a public lecture<\/a><\/strong> which form the core of his message. This lifelong commitment to humanism cannot be divorced from his experience as a First World War veteran and Free French jurist, working in London with General de Gaulle from 1940, as he himself recalls in a interview<\/a><\/strong> in 1968.<\/p>\n

Other INA resources show his contribution to the creation of post-war institutions, notably UNESCO. His work as a jurist has been summarized in a portrait <\/a><\/strong>in the “galerie des internationalistes” of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise de droit international, with a brief bibliography.<\/p>\n

More recently, two courses have been published.<\/p>\n<\/div>
