Jean Waline (18 August 1933 – 23 June 2022) was a French academic and politician.[1]

Biography[edit]

Jean was the son of jurist and academic Marcel Waline [fr], who served on the Constitutional Council. He earned an agrégation in law and became a law professor at Robert Schuman University.

In 2002, Waline was the subject of Mélanges offerts à Jean Waline, published by Dalloz as part of the "Précis Dalloz" on administrative law. He was a member of the scientific council of the Fondation Louise Weiss.[2] He was also president of the International Institute of Human Rights from 2005 to 2011.[3]

A member of the Rally for the Republic, Waline was described as "a formidable swordsman in search of [...] broad popular recognition" as a politician.[4] He was at the forefront of the fight for the LGV Est high-speed rail line while serving as Vice-President of the General Council of Bas-Rhin with an appeal to the Prime Minister and a petition.[5] Having entered politics in 1977, he experienced a surprise defeat against socialist Olivier Blitz in the 2008 French cantonal elections.

Jean Waline died in Strasbourg on 23 June 2022 at the age of 88.[6]
