                             1912-1980


     It is with deep regret that we commemorate   the death  of Professor
Gy6rgy  Haraszti deceased on 26th November 1980. His absence will be felt in
many  fields of the Hungarian juridical life. He was a devoted teacher at the
University delivering lectures almost until his death; he was the leading per-
sonality of the science of international public law in Hungary; he has repre-
sented his country at a number of international conferences. He devoted his
full activity to his beloved profession: international public law.
     He  graduated from the Budapest University in 1933. He was a member of
the Budapest  Bar until 1948. From 1948 to 1950 he was the director of the
International Law Department  in the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Then he devoted his life to the world of learning and until the end of his life,
during decades, he had been professor of international law and head of the
international law department of E6tvas LorAnd University, Budapest.
     He  was able to combine his educational and scientific work with prac-
tical activities in the sphere of his interest. He attended several international
conferences as a Hungarian representative. He was the head of the Hungarian
delegation at the Geneva Conference for the protection of the victims of war,
1949; government  delegate at the General Conference of the International
Labour Organization, 1949; member of the Hungarian delegation at the Vienna
Conference on consular relations, 1963; the Vienna Conference on the Law of
treaties, 1968-1969, the XVth session of the General Conference of Unesco,
1968, the Caracas Conference on the Law of the sea, 1974. Until the end of his
life he was the Hungarian representative in the Legal Sub-Committee of the
Committee  on the peaceful uses of outer space of the United Nations.
     He  delivered lectures with great success in different institutions, almost
all over the world, first of all, at the Hague Academy of International Law.
     He  was  member  of the Permanent   Court of Arbitration, Associated
Member  of the Institute of International Law, Member of the Presidium of the
International Institute for Peace, Vienna, President of the Hungarian Branch
of the International Law  Association, Secretary-General of the Hungarian
United  Nations Association.
     He  has gained wide recognition in scholarly circles due to his numerous
papers and monographs  on the problems of International law, whose progress
he was  also promoting as editor of the biennial Questions of International
Law, the last volume of which appeared some weeks after his decease.
      His main  work Some  fundamental  problems of the law of treaties
