Henri Donnedieu de Vabres

Later in 1947, he would again submit his idea before the United Nations' Committee on the Progressive Development of International Law and its Codification.

In 1935 Donnedieu accepted an invitation to Berlin from Hans Frank, Hitler's personal lawyer and later Governor-General of occupied Poland.

On 28 February 1953, a West German denazification court declared Jodl not guilty of breaking international law.

Donnedieu was also the one to suggest that a firing squad might be a more honourable way to execute those found guilty – though that was strongly contested by Francis Biddle and Iona Nikitchenko.

Along with Raphael Lemkin (the Academic who devised the term "genocide" in his 1944 book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe) and Vespasian V. Pella, he was consulted by John Peters Humphrey to prepare the United Nations Secretariat Draft for the Convention on the Prevention of Genocide.
