Zasl. prof. dr. Ljubo Bavcon (1924–2021) je močno zaznamoval naš čas kot univerzitetni učitelj, doma in v tujini priznan raziskovalec, angažiran javni intelektualec, ki se je samostojno in izvirno odzival na svoj čas in razmere v njem. Odšel je človek, ki se je vselej zavzemal za spoštovanje človekovih pravic, vnesel pojem in pomen teh pravic v slovenski pravni in širši družbeni prostor ter bistveno pripomogel k njegovemu uveljavljanju. Bil je odločen nasprotnik smrtne kazni in se je o tem javno izjavil že pred 50 leti. Nedvomno je pretežno njegova zasluga, da v Sloveniji po letu 1957 ni bila izvršena nobena smrtna obsodba.

Professor Emeritus Ljubo Bavcon, PhD (1924–2021) strongly imprinted our time as a university teacher, a renowned researcher in Slovenia and abroad, a committed public intellectual who responded independently and originally to his time and conditions in it. A man who has always advocated respect for human rights, introduced the concept and meaning of these rights into the Slovenian legal and broader social space and significantly contributed to its implementation. He was a staunch opponent of the death penalty and made this public 50 years ago. Undoubtedly, it is mainly due to him that no death sentences were carried out in Slovenia after 1957.
