“He really had an extremely particular style,” adds the president of the LDH. “He had a very warm voice. As soon as he started to speak, he began to convince with his voice. He had the art of avoiding excess and with a constant search for a deeply human approach.”. “His legacy is considerable at the Human Rights League”concludes Patrick Baudouin. “He was the wise one for us, the one who had knowledge. He was extremely precious to us.”
