Vojin Dimitrijević was born on 9 July 1932 in Rijeka (then in Italy, today in Croatia).[1]
In 1956 he graduated from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law, where he also obtained his doctorate in 1965[2] and continued to work as a professor from 1960 until 1998.[1] He was ordered to retire prematurely in 1998, while in the rank of full professor, due to his opposition to the newly passed and repressive Universities Act.
Dimitrijević was the director of the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights, a Serbian non-governmental organisation opposed to the regime of Slobodan Milošević.[2] He held the position from its inception in 1995.[3] Since 2005, he was a professor at the Faculty of Law of the Union University in Belgrade.[1] Dimitrijević was also a visiting professor at the universities of Virginia, Oslo, and Lund.[2]
Dimitrijević was the president of the Yugoslav branch of the International Law Association (2001–2003), and a member of the Anticorruption Council of the Government of the Republic of Serbia (2001–2004). He was one of the founders of the Serbian Forum for International Relations (in 1995) and was a member of the Serbian PEN Centre since 1986.[2]
