President Biden signed into law the historic “Justice for Victims of War Crimes Act” giving DOJ jurisdiction to prosecute persons present in the U.S. for war crimes committed anywhere, regardless of the nationality of alleged perpetrator or victim. 1/2 whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…
There are no words to describe the impact that this giant of a legal luminary has had on my life, professionally and personally. Judge Elizabeth Nahamya's passion for the downtrodden, for victims of her beloved Uganda and her commitment to the law knew no limits. RIP Judge.
