The South African academic Professor Christof Heyns, who has died at the age of 62, was a world-renowned human rights advocate and academic. He was a thoughtful scholar of both the African and UN human rights systems, and an incredibly popular teacher and activist.
He leaves behind a remarkable legacy among generations of students across the continent and around the world.
But in addition to his shaping of the University of Pretoria’s contribution to human rights issues across the continent, Heyns also achieved a global impact by serving over the past decade in two high-profile United Nations positions. He was Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions (2010-2016); and a member of the UN Human Rights Committee (2017-2020).

The monumental contribution that Professor Christof Heyns has made to advance human rights in Africa and beyond emerged this week from a memorial Facebook page created to honour the former director of the Centre for Human Rights, which is part of the faculty of law, University of Pretoria, South Africa.
The 62-year-old Heyns died on 29 March while on a hike near Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Heyns was the director of the Centre for Human Rights from 1999 to 2006, the dean of the faculty of law at the University of Pretoria (UP) from 2007 to 2010 and thereafter became the founding co-director of the Institute for International and Comparative Law in Africa at UP.
