It is with deep sorrow that the IHFFC has to announce that Prof. Dr. Miodrag Starcevic, Member of the Commission since 2006, passed away a few days ago.
In the various functions he held over the years, he promoted with great devotion the knowledge and implementation of international humanitarian law in his country and in the world at large. He taught international humanitarian law in the Armed Forces and in universities in Serbia and was President of the Commission on International Humanitarian Law of the Serbian Red Cross. He also disseminated the humanitarian message internationally. Deeply devoted to human rights, his voice was heard and esteemed in the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and beyond, at the International Institute of Humanitarian Law in San Remo, at the Red Cross Conferences in Geneva, in The Hague and elsewhere.
Soon after his entry in the Commission, he became a very important and valuable member. We appreciated his valuable advice and his friendship. The members of the Commission will always remember him as a great humanitarian.
