Human Rights and Genocidal Rape

Professor Cynthia Soohoo, International Women’s Human Rights Clinic at CUNY Law School

Dr. Natalie Nenadic, University of Kentucky

In this event, Professor Cynthia Soohoo and Dr. Natalie Nenadic will discuss how mass rape came to be established as a war crime, crime against humanity and crime of genocide. Professor Soohoo is the Director of the International Women’s Human Rights Clinic at CUNY Law School, which played a central role in the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda defining mass rape as a crime of genocide for the first time in international law. She is an expert in women’s human rights and human rights advocacy.
