Vera was Honorary Professor of Public International Law at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, and had been a Visiting Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, and a Visiting Professor at Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Universit茅 Paris II, and the University of California at Berkeley.

For several years, Vera would travel from Geneva to teach LLM students at 新香港六合彩开奖结果Laws, and was a leading expert on United Nations law, Security Council sanctions, State and international organisation responsibility, treaty law, international dispute settlement, human rights and refugee law.

Vera also participated in many international law events at UCL, including the International Law Association seminars hosted by the Faculty.

Reader in Law at 新香港六合彩开奖结果Laws, Ralph Wilde, who worked closely with Vera said: 鈥淰era was a much-valued friend and mentor, and we collaborated in many activities.

鈥淰era combined superlative intellectual work with important engagements in both legal practice and institutionally, and made an immense contribution to the international academy through leadership and service on national, regional and international research institutes, associations and journals.

鈥淪he was brilliant, kind, and fearless. Many of us are in the debt of this remarkable woman who made the world a better place. Her memory will live on in her work, and in those of us who are inspired to be better so as to be worthy of having had her in our lives.鈥
