SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Genocide and Mass Atrocity in Sudan and DR Congo: How America is Connected and What We can Do
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Law Society lunch talk on Thursday\, April 10\, 12-1 PM\, with John Prendergast\, a leading human rights activist\, author\, and co-founder of The Sentry. \n\nIn this conversation\, Mr. Prendergast will explore the ongoing challenges of genocide and mass atrocities\, with a focus on recent developments in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and global efforts to prevent and respond to crimes against humanity. He will look into the deep economic connections Americans have to both countries and the menu of ways to create accountability for those that are responsible for the mayhem as well as leverage for peace and respect for human rights. \n\nDrawing on his extensive experience—including his work with the Enough Project and The Sentry—he will offer insights into legal\, policy\, and advocacy strategies for combating impunity. With decades of experience in conflict prevention and accountability\, Mr. Prendergast has advised policymakers\, led advocacy efforts\, and exposed financial networks fueling mass atrocities.\n\nPlease RSVP by copying and pasting this link into your browser (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe2qNmF-0bH392tR2BxuG5v169t4VjO-hos3vF-DFGfJB8CZA/viewform?usp=header).
