1/4 As the Assad regime’s collapse creates an opportunity for a free and democratic Syria, accountability for the regime’s crimes is crucial. Today CJA & @Freshfields filed evidence of the regime’s widespread use of torture in detention centers in our case in US ct. #endimpunity

We are very excited to share that our Ministers of Foreign Affairs have approved the memo on the special tribunal for The Gambia!👏.

We have very high hopes that now it is just a matter of procedure for our Heads of States to show their firm stance against impunity.

@CJA_News Thank you for your supporting @WomenInLiberat1 to popularise Former Jungler, Micheal Correa’s prosecution among Gambians.

This is another important milestone in the #GambiaTJ process and the holding of perpetrators of human rights violations during #Jammeh’s regime accountable. @LindsayABailey

Can’t recommend Sara strongly enough as a supervisor!!

[Kevin Milligan @kevinmilligan]

My approach to the cap gains increase on those with >$250K of gains is to ask: Among measures out there that could push back on inequality, is this the most effective and best positioned on efficiency?

My answer is 'yes', this is one of the best ways to achieve those goals.

$38 million may seem low for a corporation worth over $3 billion. But here's the context:

The jury awarded $38 million to 8 plaintiffs in this bellwether #Chiquita case-- there are THOUSANDS of plaintiffs yet to go to trial. This trial represents 1% of all Chiquita victims.

[Lindsay Bailey @LindsayABailey]

“This verdict sends a powerful message to corporations everywhere: profiting from human rights abuses will not go unpunished. These families, victimized by armed groups and corporations, asserted their power and prevailed in the judicial process,” said Marco Simons, @Power_of_Law

🚨BREAKING🚨
