It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Professor René Fiasse on the 26th of February 2024, at the age of 87. Born in Quiévrain in 1936 in the Borinage region, to two teachers, he was the eldest of four children. From an early age, he developed a quality that would mark him throughout his life: a committed humanism. Struck by the horrors of war, he became interested in international politics and then became actively involved in the pacifist movements and Amnesty International. Having received a pluralist education and thanks to his open-mindedness, he was always ahead of his time when it came to major ethical issues.
