Posted with permission of the author. Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/facpub Part of the International Law Commons A Tribute to Paul Szasz John J. Barcelo I1t & David Wippman In Paul's passing, Cornell and the broader international law commu- nity have lost a man of exceptional intellect who was devoted to interna- tional law and to Cornell. Paul received both his bachelor's degree in engineering (in 1952) and his master's in law (in 1956) from Cornell, and went on to become a consummate international lawyer, one that other international lawyers sought out when they needed advice on a particu- larly thorny international law issue. Paul's range and depth of knowledge of international law were unsurpassed, drawn from close to half a century of scholarship and international public service. But even more impressive were the many and lasting contributions he made to the cause of interna- tional peace and the common interests of the international community. Paul began his career with the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, where for eight years he helped draft regulations designed to pre- vent the use of civilian nuclear materials for military purposes.
