Clea Koff (born 1972) is a British-born American forensic anthropologist and author who worked several years for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR; 2 missions) and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (5 missions) in Rwanda, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, and in 2000 in Kosovo. Early life. Graduate school. Koff went on to the master's program in forensic anthropology at the University of Arizona. She completed her masters degree in 1999 at the University of Nebraska, after combining her studies with working for the UN between 1996 and 2000. As a 23-year-old graduate student studying prehistoric skeletons in California, Koff joined a small team of UN scientists exhuming victims of the genocide in Rwanda. Her job was to find evidence to bring the perpetrators to trial, and to help relatives to identify their loved ones. Books. Koff captured the events in her memoir The Bone Woman: Among the dead in Rwanda, Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo (Random House) which was published in 2004 in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Argentina, and Canada, 2005 in France and Denmark, 2006 in Norway, Italy, and Portugal, and 2007 in Poland. Koff's crime fiction debut, Freezing, part of the Jayne & Steelie Mystery Series, was published by Severn House in the UK in August 2011 and in the US in December 2011. French rights for the book have been acquired by Editions Héloïse d'Ormesson. Passing is the title of the second book in the series, which is not yet published.

She was a member of the first international forensic team brought together by the United Nations to investigate evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity, commencing in Rwanda in 1996. She subsequently participated in missions in Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo, where she was Deputy Chief Anthropologist of the International Criminal Tribunal Morgue in 2000. The Bone Woman , Koff's memoir of her experiences working for the war crimes tribunals, was published by Random House in 2004 and has been translated into eleven languages and published in thirteen countries. Among other honours, The Bone Woman was awarded the Nancy (France) Human Rights Book Prize, was a National Public Radio Best, a Discover Magazine Top 20 Science Book, and an Editor's Pick of the Foreign Policy Association. In 2006, Koff was Co-coordinator of the Anthropology Laboratory of the UN Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus. She now works in Los Angeles with the non-profit organisation she founded, the Missing Persons Identification Resource Center (MPID), which develops forensic profiles of missing persons in order to assist identifications of the estimated 40,000 unidentified bodies held by coroners' offices across the US. Koff holds a BA from Stanford University, an MA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and trained with Dr. Walt Birkby in the graduate forensic anthropology program at the University of Arizona. Freezing. One of the most exciting crime and mystery series debuts of the year. Think Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell. When a bundle of frozen body parts tumbles out the rear door of a van on a Los Angeles freeway, FBI agent Scott Houston knows just where to go for an off-the-record analysis: 32/1, a non-profit missing persons identification resource center run by forensic anthropologists Jayne Hall and Steelie Lander. Jayne and Steelie quickly determine that the remains are human, though from several women. But Scott's call has unintended consequences for the two women, putting their lives in jeopardy, as their unique skills uncover evidence leading directly to the killer. Freezing.

Clea Koff’s is a forensic anthropologist and author. She is also the daughter of two documentary film makers who focused on human rights. Ms.Koff’s mother was Tanzanian and her father was American. She spent most of her childhood in Somalia and the United States. Ms. Koff earned a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Stanford University. Ms. Koff got her master’s degree in 1999 from the University of Nebraska. While she was a master’s student at the University of Arizona in their graduate forensic anthropology program, she trained with forensic anthropologist Dr. Walt Birkby. In 1996 when Ms. Koff was a graduate student, she was one of the members of the first international forensics team to go to Rwanda. This team was put together by the United Nations to investigate evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Her job in Rwanda was to exhume bodies to find evidence of war crimes. After Rwanda and completing her master’s degree, Ms. Koff immediately went on missions to Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo in 2000. For these missions she was Deputy Chief Anthropologist of the UN International Criminal Tribunal Morgue. In 2006, She was the Co-coordinator of the Anthropology Laboratory of the UN Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus and until 2012 she worked in Los Angles at the Missing Persons Identification Resource Center, which is the center that she founded to develop forensic profiles to help assist in the identification of unidentified bodies, and according to Ms. Koff’s biography, which was updated in 2013, the number of unidentified bodies being held by the offices of coroners across the U.S. is estimated to be 40,000. Ms. Koff currently writes fiction. Her first mystery was called Freezing and was published in 2011. Before turning to fiction, Ms. Koff did write a memoir called Bone Woman . This was published in 2004 and was translated into eleven different languages and published in thirteen countries. Her memoir received numerous honors, including the Nancy France Human Rights Book Prize, and was called a top 20 science book by Discover Magazine. Freezing by Clea Koff. Some years ago Clea Koff wrote a well-received book about her experiences as a United Nations forensic anthropologist amid the dead bodies of Rwanda and former Yugoslavia. In Freezing she applies her expertise to fiction. Her co-heroines are partners in the business of identifying people by their corpses. An assortment of women’s body parts is thrown out of a van on to the road. Their inquiries lead them into danger, emotional distress and eventually to a serial killer. A touch heavy, but Koff imparts her knowledge with gusto.

Michael Galchinsky Georgia State University [email protected] Lament as Transitional Justice Abstract: Works of human rights literature help to ground the formal rights system in an informal rights ethos. Writers have developed four major modes of human rights literature: protest, testimony, lament, and laughter. Through interpretations of poetry in Carolyn Forché’s anthology, Against Forgetting, and novels from Rwanda, the United States, and Bosnia, I focus on the mode of lament, the literature of mourning. Lament is a social and ritualized form, the purposes of which are congruent with the aims of transitional justice institutions. Both laments and truth commissions employ grieving narratives to help survivors of human rights trauma bequeath to the ghosts of the past the justice of a monument while renewing the survivors’ capacity for rebuilding civil society in the future. Human rights scholars need a broader, extra-juridical meaning for “transitional justice” if we hope to capture its power.

  • Making Connections October 2006 Rwanda
    MAKING CONNECTIONS OCTOBER 2006 RWANDA How long could I remain traumatized? I have eight children, six boys and two girls. If I dwelt on death, it would mean the death of my children as well. I had to wake up and get to work for their well being and survival…. I also wanted to earn the confidence of other women. In this culture, being a widow has a negative connotation. They ask you why you are alone. It upset me, but I didn’t want to depend on a man. I wanted to affirm myself, to show that a widow can be productive and gain the respect of others. Solidarity among women has been a great advantage. Berthe Mukamusoni, Rwandan Leglislator Over a one­hundred day period in 1994, Rwandans massacred other Rwandans, some 800,000 of them. In houses, in the streets, even in churches, Tutsi and moderate Hutu Rwandans were macheted, machine­gunned, or beaten to death. Children, women, elderly—no one was spared if found. Indeed women were particularly targeted even before the killing began. Among the earliest signs of the impending horror was a media campaign slandering Tutsi women. Over half a million women and girls were raped, often tortured or mutilated, sometimes intentionally infected with HIV/AIDS. Between 2000­5000 children were born to raped women. Half a million others became orphans. A million people lost their homes; millions more ran for their lives only to face more horror as refugees in ill­prepared displacement camps elsewhere. All this while the world stood by…. The horror of Rwanda is a double­horror, at least.

With equal importance, it considers how these rights would operate in a real-world area of human rights practice, the forensic exhumation of mass graves. It argues that hu- man rights for the dead are philosophically unworkable and irreconcilable with the practical limitations of forensic work; therefore, we should not think of the dead as having human rights. However, this conclusion does not end discussion about what forensic investigators do for dead bodies. Rather, it makes room for a modest but rich sense of how exhumation can restore the identity, physical location, and care that have been denied to victims of atrocity. I.

    Introduction to Forensic Science Module 12A Forensic Anthropology I. Objectives A. Define forensic anthropology and its related fields (taphonomy and archeology) B. Describe the pioneers and their contributions to the study of forensic anthropology C. Demonstrate proficiency in estimating age, sex, stature, and ancestry from human skeletal remains D. Interpret trauma to a skeleton including gunshot wounds, blunt force, and sharp force E. Determine the time since death II. Definitions A. Forensic Anthropology - the application of methods of anthropology and archeology to the collection and analysis of physical evidence to solve forensic problems. This includes: 1. The study of bones, teeth, and cartilage (a.k.a. skeletonized remains) to determine their identity. 2. The recovery of buried remains. 3. Facial reconstruction. 4. Determination of the cause of death and the manner in which death occurred. B. Forensic anthropologists have a great deal of training in anatomy and osteology and they work with other specialists such as osteologists, forensic pathologists and homicide investigators to help discover and examine human bone remains and subsequently suggest multiple features of the decedent, such as sex, gender, stature, age, and even the circumstances of death. (ABFA - American Board of Forensic Anthropology, 2010) 1. A forensic anthropologist's primary goal is to use his or her scientific and investigative skills to serve the community and its needs.
