CGLP Special Speaker:

Justice Richard Goldstone

“International Criminal

Justice: Recent Developments”

Richard Joseph Goldstone is a former Justice of the South African Constitutional Court and former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court for the Former Yugoslavia.

During the transition from apartheid to multiracial democracy in the early 1990s, he headed the influential Goldstone Commission investigations into political violence in South Africa. Goldstone's work investigating violence led directly to him being nominated to serve as the first chief prosecutor of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda from August 1994 to September 1996. He prosecuted a number of key war crimes suspects, notably the Bosnian Serb political and military leaders, Radovan Karadži! and Ratko Mladi!. On his return to South Africa he took up a seat on the newly-established Constitutional Court of South Africa, to which he had been nominated by President Nelson Mandela.

In 2009, Goldstone led a fact-finding mission created by the UN Human Rights Council to investigate international human rights and humanitarian law violations related to the Gaza War. The mission's findings that Israel and Hamas had both committed serious violations of the laws of war led to a major international controversy.!

Life After Law School

Panel

.

Co-sponsored by the Public Interest & Social Justice Coalition and Women and Law

One of the biggest challenges facing nonprofits today is their dearth of strong leaders – a problem that’s only going to get worse as the sector expands and baby boom executives retire. Over the next decade

nonprofits will need to find some 640,000 new executives, nearly two and a half times the number currently employed. – Thomas J. Tierney, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Summer 2006

Addressing the needs and concerns of marginalized, subordinated, or underrepresented clients and causes has long required the resourcefulness of individuals working in concert. What tools have been successful in cultivating, training and retaining, leaders from within these communities and among other concerned people? What characteristics define social justice leaders? What role will new technologies play in movements for social change and how might leaders tap into these technologies? This half-day Symposium will gather generations of social justice leaders and innovators to consider questions related to the social justice sector leadership challenge and to inform and inspire leaders of tomorrow.
