His pacifism knows no bounds: with organizations like Cimade, LDH, and the Louis-Lecoin Committee, he assists draft dodgers in numerous countries. These include Portuguese conscientious objectors refusing to fight in the wars in Angola and Mozambique, American deserters opposed to the Vietnam War, and Israeli objectors refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories. It is no surprise that, as early as 1971, he was one of the very first lawyers representing the farmers of the Larzac plateau. "The law alone can do nothing in certain situations," he said. "But the legal struggle remains necessary; it is essential to advance and expand the law. It is collective struggles, the challenging of the established order and therefore of the law, that create the law of future periods." Written by Mémoires Vives Productions See less
