ILSA is saddened by the passing of Dr. Koen De Feyter

ILSA is saddened to learn of the passing of longtime Friend of the Jessup, Dr. Koen De Feyter. Dr. De Feyter was a Jessup competitor from Belgium in the 1980s, and continued his involvement with the Competition as a coach and advisor throughout the years, most recently at University of Antwerp, where he was recently appointed Dean. Outside of the Jessup, he was an accomplished scholar and teacher in the areas of human rights and development cooperation, the rights of indigenous peoples, human rights and business, and the right to development. Our thoughts and best wishes are with his family, friends, students, and colleagues.
