In Memoriam Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade (1947-2022), humanista y (re)humanizador del Derecho Internacional

IN MEMORY OF ANTÔNIO AUGUSTO CANÇADO TRINDADE (1947-2022), HUMANIST AND (RE)HUMANIZER OF INTERNATIONAL LAW The death of Professor and Judge Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade has caused countless expressions of grief, admiration and respect, from academia to international organizations, bodies and agencies, from the media to the Brazilian government itself.

Thanks to the good fortune of this friendship, we had the good fortune to receive Professor Cançado Trindade at the University of Seville on several occasions, and he was appointed as a member of the International Scientific Council of the Crónica Jurídica Hispalense, the journal of the Faculty of Law of the University of Seville. The last time he visited Seville was to deliver the VI Annual Conference in memory of Professor Juan Antonio Carrillo Salcedo, who passed away in early 2013, on 14 November 2019, and which he entitled “Memories of Juan Antonio Carrillo Salcedo: judicial and philosophical dimension”.Few academics have left a mark comparable to that of Antônio A. Cançado Trindade, both in the theory and, particularly, in the practice of international law. It is sufficient to examine his activity as an international judge, which he did not in any way dissociate from his legal thinking as an academic, but, on the c
