Affton HIgh School Auditorium
A public presentation and book signing by DIane Orentlicher, an internationally renowned scholar on human rights law and war crimes tribunals.
Additional Notes
An internationally renowned scholar on human rights law and war crimes tribunals, Diane Orentlicher has also served in various public positions including as the Deputy for War Crimes Issues in the U.S. Department of State, and has testified before the U.S. Senate and House on a range of issues relating to both domestic human rights laws and U.S. foreign policy. In Some Kind of Justice: The ICTY’s Impact in Bosnia and Serbia, Orentlicher “provides an unparalleled account of an international tribunal's impact in societies that have the greatest stake in its work [...] Drawing on hundreds of research interviews and a rich body of inter- disciplinary scholarship, Orentlicher provides a path- breaking account of how the Tribunal influenced domestic political developments, victims' experience of justice, acknowledgement of wartime atrocities, and domestic war crimes prosecutions.”
