Lunch with John Washburn and Alliance for the ICC

Eric and Louie and I had lunch today with Mary and Richard Schense and John Washburn, an expert on the ICC. Mr. Washburn is the Co-Chairman of the Washington Working Group on the International Criminal Court.

We talked about the benefits of the ICC, especially with regard to victim's rights and how the process can aid in healing victims and communities. We also discussed the International Criminal Bar and its role indefending the accused as well as victims.

We agreed that we would work to build support for the ICC within the legal community in Albuquerque. Mr. Washburn informed us of his organization's website and offered his support and resources.

I'll check out the website and see what info they have to offer.
