Gilles Devers was a French lawyer and academic, born in 1956 and dead on 26 November 2024 at the age of 68. He is recorded for his work in international litigation. With Mireille Fanon Mendès-France he filed a complaint with the International Court of Justice on behalf of groups representing victims of Israeli attacks during the 2008 to 2009 Gaza War, he represented the Palestinian Authority before the International Criminal Court, and he represented the Polisario Front before the Court of Justice of the European Union. In October 2007 he also took part in a working group that produced a report for the Haute Autorité de santé on improving cooperation between health professionals. In 2024 he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor of International Solidarity of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. The article describes an advocate and teacher rather than a judge, and the atlas places him with the civil law scholars of his country.
