It was a day that international news media heralded as: “the end of impunity!” A fairytale-like ending you could say, especially for the people of Sierra Leone, to the atrocious story of death and destruction that had plagued West Africa during the 1990s.

  • American Leadership on Atrocity Crimes and the Fight for Justice Ambassador (Ret.) Nicholas Burns Carnegie Endowment for Interna
    American Leadership on Atrocity Crimes and the Fight for Justice Ambassador (ret.) Nicholas Burns Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Conference January 25, 2018 This is an important conference on a vital American interest—standing up for human rights and prosecuting those responsible for atrocity crimes. I thank the Carnegie Endowment for bringing us together this morning. This conference on this vital subject fits right in the center of the Endowment’s long commitment to a more just world. It is particularly gratifying for me to be here with so many distinguished American diplomats with whom I served during the last two decades in both Democratic and Republican Administrations. We all owe a debt of gratitude to the Ambassadors at Large for War Crimes Issues David Scheffer, Pierre Prosper, Clint Williamson and Stephen Rapp. We are in debt to Ambassador Todd Buchwald, to Ambassador John Shattuck, to former State Department Legal Advisor John Bellinger and others here today who held high the American commitment to human rights, to helping the victims of genocide, mass atrocities, torture and abuse. We salute President Clinton and Secretary Madeleine Albright for creating the Ambassadorial position in the first place. David Scheffer reminded me that we are the only country that has such a position. The United States has been the central country worldwide that has kept these issues at the center of the attention of the international community. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all made a clear commitment that we would pursue justice on behalf of the victims. They appointed the public servants I have just saluted.
