SAVE THE DATE: Global Kids’ International Justice Center being opened by ICC Prosecutor, address by Kofi Annan on March 20!

Posted on March 12, 2008 by
ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo

I am excited and honored to announce that on Thursday, March 20, at 3pm EST, International Criminal Court Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo will give a short welcome address to officially inaugurate the Global Kids’ International Justice Center in the virtual world of Second Life.

After his address, the ICC prosecutor will answer questions from the virtual audience, facilitated by Global Kids’ staff. Following this, the Center will be video streaming a MacArthur Foundation-sponsored panel discussion and keynote address on “The Emerging International Justice System” taking place in New York City. The event begins with a live panel discussion at 4:30pm with several major human rights officials.  To conclude the event, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan will deliver a keynote address at 9pm. 

The ICC prosecutor’s address and the video streamed events will be accessible online both at the International Justice Center in Second Life and on the web at http://www.justicecenter.net.

The IJC is an independent public information and action center supporting the International Criminal Court and related human rights concerns.  Over the next months, the Center plans to host more streamed live events, exhibitions and in-world discussions and workshops organized by human rights groups, journalists, and lawyers associations.

To learn about the ICC, check out this compelling video trailer for a documentary about the ICC called "Court of Last Resort," being produced by Skylight Productions.

More details on this day-long series of events will be announced shortly…

    OT, re: a recent Twit: Rik, to get your mom to stop sending you joke emails, try preparing a “canned” response that says something like, “Dear internet correspondent. This email address only accepts original content. I am always happy to hear your news, answer your questions, and dispense tech advice… but recycled internet content is NOT welcome in this inbox. Thank you for understanding, and please send some fresh stuff soon.”
    Fire it back at her EVERY time she (or anyone else) sends you recycled internet crap. This worked pretty well with one of my relatives, although I do find that I need to “re-innoculate” periodically. Best of luck!
