On 20 September 2024, Professor Koen De Feyter passed away. Unexpectedly. Professor De Feyter was an inspirational scholar. He published widely on human rights and development cooperation, the rights of indigenous peoples, human rights and business, and the right to development. His driving force was his quest for justice, in particular for indigenous peoples, local communities and the Palestinian people. Professor De Feyter brought people together and built global communities that became intellectual homes for so many scholars.

In this lecture series, four colleagues from different parts of the world, who have closely collaborated with professor De Feyter, will commemorate his life and legacy.

The lecture series is a joint initiative of the Law and Development Research Group and the Faculty of Law of the University of Antwerp. More details about each lecture will be available on this website as the lecture date approaches. The lectures will also be available through livestream via this link.

Registration is not necessary. If you have any questions, please contact the Law and Development Research Group (lawanddevelopment@uantwerpen.be).
