New York 24 August 1960) was a Romanian legal expert. ==Legal career and opinions== During the interwar period, he promoted the notion of international criminal proceedings against heads of state found guilty of crimes against humanity, through the establishment of a special international tribunal for that purpose. In 1938 he served as President of the Committee on Legal Questions of the League of Nations.〔()〕 In 1944 he was appointed Romanian Ambassador to Switzerland, and in that capacity saved some Romanian Jews from deportation to Nazi occupied Poland.〔()〕 In 1948, he took part in formulating the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide ().
