The Spanish legal scholar Manuel García Pelayo, after fully living the 20th century, died in Caracas, Venezuela in 1991, a country that received him during a long exile, after a journey that began in Argentina and continued in Puerto Rico, an exile that It begins at the beginning of the 50s, since he did not accept the internal exile that being in the defeated Republican side in which he served as an Army officer and having belonged to the category of prisoner of war offered him. García Pelayo was solidly and eruditely trained in Vienna and Berlin, early professing university teaching in Spain before the Civil War, getting to know first hand the great iuspublicists of the time and the great debates of the Weimar era, and also knowing the crisis of the new republics of the first postwar period and the rise of European fascism, and the second great war and its consequences.
