Human Rights Expert

Washingtonl JTA
Human rights expert
William Korey, the founding director of B'nai
Brith International's U.N. office, has died.
Korey, who died Aug. 28, 2009, at age
87, long worked for international imple-
mentation of the 1948 United Nations
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
and the Convention on the Prevention and
Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
When the latter treaty was ratified by the
United States in 1988, Korey was one of
the people invited to the signing at the
White House by President Ronald Reagan.
Korey spent 26 years at B'nai B'rith, start-
ing at the U.N. in 1960 and later becoming
director of the B'nai B'rith's Department
of International Policy Research from
1977 through 1986. He also held teaching
positions at the City College of New York,
Columbia University and Yeshiva University,
as well as being involved in a number of
Jewish organizations.
"Bill was both a scholar and an intel-
lectual," U.N. Reform Advocates President
Harris Schoenberg, a former colleague and
a friend of Korey, wrote in a letter.

as he was in Jewish organizational life,
where he was an eloquent human rights

behalf of Soviet Jewry"
