Dr. Krzysztof Skubiszewski, 1926-2010

On Monday, 8 February 2010, Dr. Krzysztof Skubiszewski, the president of the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal (where I work) died in Warsaw at the age of 83. He had served as an arbitrator since 4 December 1993, and as president of the Tribunal since 16 February 1994.

Last year, I had the pleasure of showing him how to use a computer running Ubuntu Linux. I remember Judge Skubiszewski as having always been congenial and kind. I will miss him.

He is pictured here speaking at a farewell reception for a legal adviser at the Iran-US Claims Tribunal in The Hague on 17 December 2009.
