Judgement on Genocide at the United Nations Church Center, November, 13, 2006
"Judgement on Genocide The International Citizens Tribunal for Sudan" took place at the United Nations Church Center in New York City on November 13, 2006. Though the trial did not carry legal authority, it was an opportunity to speak out for those who have been victimized and those who have been eyewitnesses to the crimes against humanity and genocide that have taken place in Sudan for more than twenty years. My Sister's Keeper Gloria White-Hammond served on a panel of distinguished judges, including Nobel laureate Wole Solinka who served as Chief Judge.
