The Chief Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone nominated our War Crimes Research program for a Nobel Peace Prize for the groundbreaking work students and faculty did to assist in the prosecution of Liberian President Charles Taylor. And our Yemen Accountability Project continues that tradition.
