“Through its Distinguished Lecturer Series, the Journal of Global Rights and Organizations and Impunity Watch News is able to bring leading experts in international law to continue the dialog on dynamic, evolving—and sometimes vexing—issues in international law and legal institutions,” says Professor Cora True-Frost, faculty director of Impunity Watch News and the Journal of Global Rights and Organizations.
“As the international community grapples with difficult questions of rights, laws and norms, JGRO and IWN’s focus is needed more than ever, and our students will be the next generation’s thought leaders on these issues.”
