Robert Badinter ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}; 30 March 1928 – 9 February 2024) was a French lawyer, politician, and author who enacted the abolition of capital punishment in France in 1981, while serving as Minister of Justice under François Mitterrand. He also served in high-level appointed positions with national and international bodies working for justice and the rule of law.
Early lifeEdit
Robert Badinter was born on 30 March 1928, in Paris to Simon Badinter and Charlotte Rosenberg.<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> His Bessarabian Jewish family had immigrated to France in 1921 to escape pogroms. During World War II, after the Nazi occupation of Paris, his family sought refuge in Lyon. His father was captured in the 1943 Rue Sainte-Catherine Roundup and deported with other Jews to the Sobibor extermination camp, where he was murdered shortly thereafter.<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Badinter graduated in law from Paris Law Faculty of the University of Paris. He then went to the United States to continue his studies at Columbia University in New York City, where he got his MA. He continued his studies again at the Sorbonne until 1954.<ref name=":2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1965, Badinter was appointed a professor at University of Sorbonne. He continued as an Emeritus professor until 1996.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Political careerEdit
BeginningsEdit
Badinter started his career in Paris in 1951, as a lawyer working with Henri Torrès.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1965, along with Jean-Denis Bredin, he founded the law firm Badinter, Bredin et partenaires, (now Bredin Prat)<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>"Best Friends" Template:Webarchive, bredinprat</ref> where he practiced law until 1981.
The Bontems caseEdit
Badinter's activism against capital punishment began after Roger Bontems's execution on 28 November 1972. Along with Claude Buffet, Bontems had taken a prison guard and a nurse hostage during the 1971 revolt in Clairvaux Prison. While the police were storming the building, Buffet slit the hostages' throats. The jury sentenced both men to death. Badinter served as defense counsel for Bontems and was outraged by the sentence. After witnessing the executions, Badinter dedicated himself to the abolition of capital punishment.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Capital punishmentEdit
In this context, he agreed to defend Patrick Henry.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In January 1976, eight-year-old Philippe Bertrand was kidnapped. Henry was soon picked up as a suspect, but released because of a lack of evidence. He gave interviews on television, saying that those who kidnapped and killed children deserved death. A few days later, he was arrested again and shown Bertrand's corpse hidden in a blanket under his bed. Badinter and Robert Bocquillon defended Henry, making the case not about Henry's guilt, but against a death sentence. Henry was sentenced to life imprisonment and died months after a compassionate release from prison in 2017 (after receiving parole in 2001, revoked in 2002).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The lenient verdict came as a shock, with several publications having already called the outcome as a virtual certainty for execution; according to speculative sources, the critical vote on the death sentence failing by a seven-to-five vote majority.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> The case of Jerome Carrein, condemned 15 days after Henry's sentence for the murder of a child, was widely dubbed the "revenge of the guillotine".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Until the execution of Gary Gilmore in Utah on 17 January, three days before Henry's verdict, France was the only Western liberal democracy actively performing executions.
Despite president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing's modernist outlook and stated opposition to the guillotine, a further three executions took place during this period, of Christian Ranucci in July 1976, Carrein in June 1977, and Hamida Djandoubi in September 1977. Badinter took no part in arguing either case.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name=WaPo/> However, 63% of French voters supported keeping the death penalty at the time it was abolished.<ref name=DPRU/> In 1980-81, Badinter defended Philippe Maurice, whose sentence of death was confirmed by the superior court in March 1981, weeks before the election of abolitionist François Mitterrand to President.<ref name=DPRU>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A further eight sentences of death were issued before the bill of abolition was passed by the French parliament in September (the last only two days before the Senate voted) but none reached stage of execution and were converted by the abolition act.<ref>lemonde.fr/archives/article/1981/09/19/les-six_2714985_1819218.html</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Maurice's sentence, after lobbying from Badinter, was commuted by Mitterrand on May 25, among Mitterrand's first acts as president.<ref name=WaPo>Template:Cite news</ref>
Ministerial mandate (1981–1986)Edit
In 1981, François Mitterrand, a self-professed opponent of the death penalty, was elected president and Badinter was appointed as Minister of Justice. Among his first actions was to introduce a bill to Parliament proposing the abolition of the death penalty for all crimes, both civilian and military. The bill was passed by the Senate after heated debate on 30 September 1981. On 9 October the law was officially enacted, ending capital punishment in France.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
During his mandate, he also helped abolish "juridictions d'exceptionTemplate:-" ("special courts"), such as the Cour de Sûreté de l'État ("Template:Ill") and the military courts,<ref name=":4">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and improved the rights of victims of crime.<ref name=":4" />
He remained a minister until February 1986.<ref name=":6"/>
1986–2024Edit
From March 1986 to March 1995, he was president of the French Constitutional Council. From 1995 to 2011, he served as a senator, representing the Hauts-de-Seine département.<ref>Robert Badinter Template:Webarchive, senat.fr</ref>
In 1989, he participated in an edition of the Antenne 2 talk show Apostrophes devoted to human rights, together with the 14th Dalai Lama. Discussing the disappearance of Tibetan culture from Tibet, Badinter used the term "cultural genocide".<ref>Les droits de l'homme Apostrophes, A2 – 21 April 1989 – 01h25m56s Template:Webarchive, Web site of the INA</ref> He praised the example of Tibetan nonviolent resistance.<ref>Badinter: "La non- violence tibétaine est exemplaire" Template:Webarchive, lexpress.fr; accessed 12 March 2017.</ref> Badinter met with the Dalai Lama many times, in particular in 1998 when he greeted him as the "Champion of Human Rights",<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and again in 2008.<ref>"Badinter and Dalai Lama" Template:Webarchive, Nouvel Observateur; accessed 12 March 2017.</ref>
In 1991, Badinter was appointed by the Council of Ministers of the European Community as a member of the Arbitration Commission of the Peace Conference on Yugoslavia. He was elected as president of the commission by the four other members, all presidents of constitutional courts in the European Community. The Arbitration Commission has rendered eleven pieces of advice regarding "major legal questions" arising from the split of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.<ref>Curriculum vitae of Robert Badinter Template:Webarchive, un.org; accessed 12 March 2017.</ref>
Badinter was the first president of the Court of Conciliation and Arbitration of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) following its creation in 1995; he served in that position until 2013.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Badinter opposed the accession of Turkey to the European Union, on the grounds that Turkey might not be able to follow the rules of the Union. He was also concerned about the nation's location, saying: "We'll have, we Europeans, common borders with Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Iraq and Syria. I am asking you: What justifies our common borders with these countries? What justifies that we'd get involved in the most dangerous areas of the world?"<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
As a head of the Arbitration Commission, he gained high respect among Macedonians and other ethnic groups in the Republic of Macedonia because he recommended "that the use of the name 'Macedonia' cannot therefore imply any territorial claim against another State".<ref>For that judgement implying that Republic of Macedonia could unconditionally be admitted to International Organizations he was awarded with the title "Macedonian Senator" by the World Macedonian Congress in 2004. [1].</ref> He supported full recognition of the Republic in 1992.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He was involved in drafting the so-called Ohrid Agreement in the Republic of Macedonia.<ref name=":3">Template:Cite journal</ref> This agreement was based on the principle that ethnic-related proposals passed by the national assembly (and later to be applied to actions of city councils and other local government bodies) should be supported by a double majority of both Macedonian and Albanian ethnic groups. This is often called the "Badinter principle".<ref name=":3" /><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
In 2009, Badinter expressed dismay at the Pope's lifting of the excommunication of controversial English Catholic bishop Richard Williamson, who had expressed Holocaust denial and was illegally consecrated a bishop.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Pope reactivated the excommunication later.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Badinter was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2009.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
World Justice ProjectEdit
Badinter served as an Honorary Co-Chair for the World Justice Project. It works to lead a global, multidisciplinary effort to strengthen the rule of law for the development of communities of opportunity and equity.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Case of Dominique Strauss-KahnEdit
At the start of the case of Dominique Strauss-Kahn in 2011, in which the IMF Managing Director was accused of rape and was arrested by the police in New York City, Robert Badinter reacted by saying to France Inter that he was outraged by the "media killing" and denounced the "failure of an entire system" inherent in the perp walk of Strauss-Kahn, a suspect, but also of the media judging an assumed culprit's guilt for charges that had not initiated a trial, and which were eventually dismissed.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Strauss-Kahn had been a favoured Socialist candidate for the presidential election the following April, but dropped all pretences of running after his arrest.
Personal life and deathEdit
Badinter married philosopher and feminist writer Élisabeth Bleustein-Blanchet, daughter of Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, who was the founder of Publicis, a multinational advertising and public relations company. He died in Paris during the night of 8 to 9 February 2024, at the age of 95.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="Monde-mort">Robert Badinter est mort Template:Webarchive Template:In lang</ref> President Macron later announced Badinter would be honored with burial in the Panthéon.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
AwardsEdit
Badinter refused any honorary distinction from the National Order of the Legion of Honor (as did his wife) and the Ordre National du Mérite. He nevertheless received foreign decorations, notably the Order of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (Czech Republic) in 2001.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and the Order 8-September (North Macedonia) in 2006.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> As a longstanding activist for the abolition of the death penalty, Robert Badinter was appointed an honorary member of the International Commission Against the Death Penalty.<ref name=":2" /> He was awarded the International Abolition Award by Death Penalty Focus in 2023.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
