Montreal (Canada) – Icsid was sad to receive news recently of Loek van der Sande’s passing. Van der Sande was on the Icsid Board from 1979 to 1987 and remained involved in his role as an Icsid Senator until a few years ago.

Trained as an economist, van der Sande had worked for the Dutch Cotton Institute before working at the Dutch Institute of Industrial Design (Stichting Industriële Vormgeving).
