In the words of former ICJ President Stephen M. Schwebel, Judge Sir Hersch Lauterpacht's "attainments are unsurpassed by any international lawyer of this century [...] he taught and wrote with unmatched distinction".S.M. Schwebel, International Arbitration: Three Salient Problems, xiii (Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures 1987) Sir Hersch's writings and (concurring and dissenting) opinions continue, nearly 50 years after his death, to be cited frequently in briefs, judgments, and advisory opinions of the World Court. He famously said "international law is at the vanishing point of law."http://books.google.com/books?id=jOG9eCMiX_kC&pg=PA195&lpg=PA195&dq=%22International+law+is+at+the+vanishing+point+of+law.%22&source=bl&ots=avOsQxzxD1&sig=ZmOF_908cfD-ov3rPDFkI5XKQBA&hl=en&sa=X&ei=xqUvUdm8Fam02AXI84HYDA&ved=0CD4Q6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22International%20law%20is%20at%20the%20vanishing%20point%20of%20law.%22&f=false</ref>
