Prof. Ní Aoláin Participates in Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict
Professor Fionnuala Ní Aoláin attended the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, held June 10-13 in London and co-chaired by British Foreign Secretary William Hague and Angelina Jolie, Special Envoy for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Ní Aoláin participated on a panel hosted by the U.S. Ambassador at Large for War Crimes, speaking to the issue of reparations for conflict-related sexual violence. At the summit, the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and U.N. Women launched a Guidance Note on Reparations for Conflict-Related Sexual Violence; the document is based in part on a study Ní Aoláin conducted for both agencies between 2011 and 2013.
