1. René Cassin (Wikipedia).
Overview: René Samuel Cassin (5 October 1887 – 20 February 1976) was a French jurist known for co-authoring the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.(Submitted on February 12, 2023.)
His death sentence: In April 1941, Cassin made a radio broadcast from London by addressing himself especially to French Jews from a secular viewpoint and reminding them of the full and equal protection that France had always offered to Jews since the French Revolution. He exhorted them to help pay back that debt by joining the forces of Free France. In May, Vichy France stripped Cassin of his French citizenship and in 1942 sentenced him to death in absentia.

Overview: A jurist, humanitarian, and internationalist, René Samuel Cassin (October 5, 1887- ) is one of the world’s foremost proponents of the legal as well as the moral recognition(Submitted on February 12, 2023.)of the rights of man. Neither a pessimist nor an optimist, the peace laureate, eighty-one years old when awarded the prize in 1968, confessed that “men are not always good” but he has based much of his life’s work on the premise that human responses can be constructive if states will transform the conditions that breed ill will into those that recognize the dignity of man.Photographed By Andrew Ruppenstein, July 26, 20222.
