Tribute to Sergio Vieira de Mello, 19 August 2008
"He worked from his instinct when things were wrong, unjust, cruel or inhumane and attacked those who were committing the atrocities verbally and diplomatically. And afterwards he would look which theoretical premises, human rights or humanitarian law, he needed to back him up."
Prof. Andrew Clapham, International Law, HEI
