American Bar Association Giving Sudanese Lawyers Advocacy Training To Prosecute Genocide Perpetrators
Chicago, IL (AHN) - American Bar Association lawyers have a new project to help tell the story of Darfur to prod the world to act and come to their aid and to support Sudanese lawyers trying to prosecute those who committed genocide and crimes against humanity in Darfur, ABA officials say.
The ABA Section of Litigation will conduct advocacy training sessions for 30 lawyers from Sudan to help them build a strong case against those responsible for genocide in Darfur. The training will be held Oct. 12 to 18 in London at the Millennium Knightsbridge Hotel.
ABA officials called this training "timely," coming as it does shortly after the filing of charges of genocide against Sudan President Omar Hassan al-Bashir by the International Criminal Court.
Salih Mahmoud Osman, deputy director of the Darfur Bar Association, is organizing the participation of Sudanese lawyers. Osman is a lawyer who is known as a human rights advocate. He has served as an officer in the Sudanese Organization Against Torture.
Speakers include representatives of the International Criminal Court.
This is the second program the ABA Section of Litigation has provided to assist lawyers in Sudan and Section Chair Robert L. Rothman of Atlanta put the importance of such programs into perspective.
"Our section is committed to ensuring justice by helping the Sudanese lawyers develop skills and learn how to preserve and collect evidence that will help prove these difficult and complex cases. We salute these brave lawyers for standing up to those who violate their rights every day in Darfur. We are indebted to the volunteer American lawyers who have contributed their time to this cause," Rothman said in an emailed statement.
It is the ABA's intention to "be instrumental in providing a firm groundwork for the Sudanese lawyers to effectively bring claims on behalf of the victims of these ruthless crimes against humanity," Rothman said.
"We want to help these lawyers tell the story of Darfur and we want the world to act and come to their aid. Our goal is to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure the rule of law governs," added Brad Brian and Laurie Miller co-chairs of the training program.
The advocacy training program supports the ABA's goal of advancing the rule of law around the world. The ABA Section of Litigation has more than 77,000 members, including trial lawyers, judges, and others involved in all aspects of litigation and the dispute resolution process, dedicated to promoting justice both domestically and internationally, ABA officials say.
