Abstract Frieder Roessler devoted his professional career to international law and inter-governmental cooperation in international trade. He believed in cooperation, economic integration, and the international rule of law, as objectives for the promotion of world peace, justice, and prosperity. In the GATT Secretariat, he contributed importantly to improving the legal quality of GATT dispute settlement decisions and to strengthening the rule of law in the multilateral trading system. After 1995, he focused on international trade law being upheld towards and by developing countries. Frieder Roessler was an international civil servant who defended the highest standards of independence, impartiality, and integrity. His legacy is a deep understanding of GATT and WTO law, which he disseminated through his scholarship, and the quality and rigour of his lawyering. Frieder Roessler was a kind, approachable, warm person, committed, passionate, and faithful to his convictions. He generously shared his wisdom as interlocutor in stimulating legal discussions. All international trade lawyers can continue to learn enormously from him and his experiences.
