Charles Henry Alexandrowicz (13 October 1902 – 26 September 1975), born Karol Aleksandrowicz, was a lawyer and scholar of international law.
Born in
Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego. He simultaneously served in the British Home Guard. In 1945, Alexandrowicz was appointed Director-General of the European Central Inland Transport Organization (ECITO), a new United Nations specialist agency.[2]
Following the absorption of ECITO by the
Economic Commission for Europe in 1947,[2] Alexandrowicz returned to the law and was called to the bar of Lincoln's Inn in 1948.[1] He became a British citizen in 1950.[1]
From London he moved to India in 1951 to teach at the University of Madras, publishing on Indian constitutional law. He spent a decade at the university and then moved to the University of Sydney in 1961. He retired from academic life in 1967.[3]
Alexandrowicz's scholarship emphasises a tradition of international law rooted in the work of natural law theorists such as Grotius—a tradition he saw as universalist—as opposed to later European theorists, who embraced Eurocentric views of the law of nations.[4]
