On 20th September 1972 Dr. Wolfgang G. Friedmann, professor of international law and director of international legal research at Columbia University, was robbed and stabbed to death three blocks from the Columbia campus. This sad news rapidly spread all over the world, and caused a heavy shock to those who had got to know this outstanding lawyer from his publications, and above all to those who, like the present writer, had the privilege to become his friend through personal contacts with his charming and inspiring personality.
