On Wednesday, January 25th 2012 the TJ Club will be having an evening all about Sierra Leone, a small country in the horn of Africa, rebuilding after a civil war that lasted from 1991-2002 which resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and many displaced people. Dr. Valerie Oosterveld, professor in the Faculty of Law at Western will talk about her experience working with the Special Court for Sierra Leone.
Following Professor Oosterveld's talk, we will be screening the documentary War Don Don (2010), which follows the sensational trial of Issa Sesay, charged with Crimes Against Humanity at the Special Court for Sierra Leone. The evening promises to leave you much further educated in the area of the hybrid Special Court, Transitional Justice, and Sierra Leone. Join us!
