DESCRIPTION:The Nuremberg principles established that some crimes are so egregious they 
 represent offense against all humankind.\n\nToday, Syria is witnessing one 
 of the bloodiest civil wars in the world. We have seen the images of the 
 boy from Aleppo, and the child washed up on the shores of Greece. Among the 
 many victims was Marie Colvin, a renowned war correspondent for London's 
 Sunday Times, who traveled secretly into the besieged city of Homs to cover 
 the suffering of Syrian civilians. After a three-year, globetrotting 
 investigation, the Center for Justice and Accountability (CJA) unearthed 
 evidence that Marie was deliberately assassinated by Syrian military and 
 intelligence forces. In July 2016, CJA and co-counsel Shearman & Sterling 
 LLP brought suit against the government of Syria for the murder of Marie 
 Colvin. \n\nCJA's lawsuit is the first case seeking to hold the Assad 
 regime responsible for war crimes. Join us for a panel discussion about 
 holding governments accountable for human rights abuses and using the law 
 as a civilizing factor against instability. Panelists include Dixon Osburn, 
 CJA's Executive Director; Scott Gilmore, CJA's lead staff attorney on the 
 Marie Colvin case; and Professor Beth Van Schaack, Leah Kaplan Visiting 
 Professor in Human Rights at the Law School and Visiting Scholar at the 
 Center for International Security & Cooperation at Stanford 
 University.\n\n$15 General Public | $10 Members and J-Pass Holders | $8
