Jean Michel Arrighi, OAS Secretary for Legal Affairs and member of IHLADI, has passed away

The eminent Uruguayan jurist, scholar, and diplomat died in the early hours of October 13. As Secretary for Legal Affairs, Dr. Arrighi played a vital role in coordinating legal matters across OAS bodies and represented the organization in numerous forums. His academic career was equally distinguished: he taught public international law at universities in the Americas and Europe and at The Hague Academy of International Law. A man committed to dialogue and mediation, he leaves a lasting legacy of service and kindness. May he rest in peace.
