SUPREME ADVOCACY

Professor Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, faculty director of the Human Rights Center (HRC), recently traveled to Washington D.C. where she appeared as witness before Congress at the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission Hearing. She also had several meetings at the U.S. State Department and submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in an important case involving the human rights of a Guantanamo Bay detainee.

In this photo, Ní Aoláin, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism, is flanked by two of her advisors, Alyssa Yamamoto, a visiting fellow at the HRC, and Megan L. Manion ’16, on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court.
