Luis Kutner
Luis Kutner (June 9, 1908 – March 1, 1993), was a US human rights activist and lawyer who co-founded Amnesty International with Peter Benenson in 1961, and created the concept of a living will.〔Kutner, L. ("Due Process Of Euthanasia: The Living Will, a proposal" ). ''Indiana Law Journal''. 1969; 44(4): 539–554.〕 He was also notable for his advocacy of "world ''habeas corpus''", the development of an international writ of ''habeas corpus'' to protect individual human rights.〔Luis Kutner, ''World Habeas Corpus'', Dobbs Ferry, NY: Oceana, 1962.〕〔(Vicki C. Jackson, "World Habeas Corpus," ) 91 ''Cornell Law Review'' 303, 309 (January 2006)〕 He was a founder of World Habeas Corpus,〔http://www.grazian-archive.com/archive/1989-02-14_kutnerL_to_al_mp.pdf〕 an organization created to fight for international policies which would protect individuals against unwarranted imprisonment.〔http://bmrcsurvey.uchicago.edu/collections/2487〕 Kutner's papers are at the Hoover Institution Archives at Stanford University.〔(Inventory of the Luis Kutner papers, 1930–1993 )〕
Kutner gained national recognition〔http://www.nytimes.com/1993/03/04/us/luis-kutner-lawyer-who-fought-for-human-rights-is-dead-at-84.html〕 in 1949, when he obtained freedom for a black mechanic from Waukegan, Illinois, who had served 26 years of a life term sentence for raping an itinerant. A Federal judge described as "a sham" the defendant's 1924 trial in which a vengeful prosecutor withheld vital evidence. He also helped free Hungarian Cardinal József Mindszenty, American expatriate poet Ezra Pound, former Congo President Moise Tshombe and represented the Dalai Lama and Tibet. Kutner is widely known as one of the most prominent human-rights attorneys of the twentieth century.〔http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1993-03-03/news/9303186892_1_hungarian-cardinal-josef-mindszenty-amnesty-international-ezra-pound〕
