Ten years ago, on April 6th, 1945, Benjamin Marius Telders died in the concentration-camp at Bergen-Belsen. With him the Netherlands lost not only an outstanding international lawyer but also one of its greatest sons.
The son of a well known legal family, Telders grew up in the Hague. Already, while still a student at the University of Leyden, he was fascinated by international law and an essay, written when he was twenty, on Robert Cecil's Treaty of Guaranty1 won an award from the Marburg Fund. At the end of his studies in the Faculty of Law he defended his thesis “Staat en Volkenrecht” (The State and the Law of Nations)2, in which he sought to rehabilitate Hegels legal philosophy. He attempted to show that the German philosopher was far from having been the grave digger of international law that he had hitherto been represented as being. When reading this book it is difficult to decide which is the more to be admired: the clarity of the exposition or the maturity of the legal thought.
