Imagining Justice for Syria, a book talk with Beth Van Schaack

Join the Center for Human Rights and International Justice on Thursday, January 21 at noon for a talk by Beth Van Schaack, a faculty fellow at our center and the Leah Kaplan Visiting Professor in Human Rights at the Law School. She is the author of a new book titled Imagining Justice for Syria, which explores the legal impediments and diplomatic challenges that have led to the fatal conditions affecting Syria. Professor Van Schaack writes, "Although the international community missed the opportunity up front to fully integrate a justice component into its response to the Syrian conflict, it now has a chance to use the reconstruction process to create a path to accountability."
