Two joint events in tribute to Ren\u00e9 Cassin: a visit to the Foundation followed by a screening and debate at the Lieu d\u2019Europe<\/h3>\n

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Ren\u00e9 Cassin<\/strong>, the Ren\u00e9 Cassin Foundation \u2013 International Institute of Human Rights<\/strong>, the Lieu d\u2019Europe, the Lieu documentaire, and the European Court of Human Rights<\/strong> are offering, on 20 February 2026<\/strong>, a two-part tribute: a visit <\/strong>at the heart of the Foundation, followed by a public screening and debate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ren\u00e9 Cassin (1887\u20131976) remains one of the great French and international figures in the defense of human rights<\/strong>. His life path, shaped by the tragedies of the 20th century, bears witness to a constant conviction: rights and freedoms endure only if they are transmitted, understood, and protected <\/strong>by strong institutions. This Strasbourg evening is part of that spirit\u2014linking a living memory to collective reflection and making tribute a moment of relevance for today. <\/p>\n
