N2 - This collection of international legal essays is a Festschrift offered as a token of friendship to Dr Shabtai Rosenne on his seventieth birthday. Dr Rosenne, born in the United Kingdom, moved to Israel shortly before its independence, after having spent six and a half years in the Royal Air Force. For close to two decades, he served as the first Legal Adviser of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the newly-established State. For many observers, the position became virtually identified with the person who moulded it in his own image. From the Rhodes Armistice Conferences of 1949 (which produced the General Armistice Agreements between Israel and its neighbouring Arab countries) and the multifarious problems associated with the transfer of authority from the mandate regime to the independent State (including the problems of State succession), through countless appearances before multilateral fora, to a number of crucial and sensitive personal missions on the bilateral level (e.g. in connection with the Eichmann case), Dr Rosenne came to be known as Israel's principal spokesman on matters of international law . At the conclusion of a prolonged term of office as the Legal Adviser, Dr Rosenne continued to serve his country as an Ambassador in the United Nations in New York and Geneva, and in various other international organizations. He represented Israel with skill and elan in numerous conferences, committees and sessions, and especially in the Sixth (Legal) Committee of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
