DIILS INSTRUCTOR INVESTED AS FEDERAL JUDGE
DIILS congratulates Judge Peggy Kuo on her investiture as a United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of New York.
Judge Kuo has generously volunteered as an adjunct instructor and subject matter expert many times for DIILS, speaking with our international participants in the Law of Armed Conflict and Human Rights resident course about her experience prosecuting war crimes at the UN International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and answering their questions. Her historic and precedent-setting trial concerning mass rapes in Foca, Bosnia established rape as a war crime and sexual enslavement as a crime against humanity. The trial was highlighted in the PBS documentary film "I Came to Testify."
Congratulations Judge Kuo!
