Welcome back to Foundations with Larisa Hovannisian. Today, I’m so happy to be joined by Sheila Paylan, an international criminal lawyer and human rights expert with over 15 years of experience advising the United Nations. Sheila has played pivotal roles in prosecuting war crimes and advocating for justice at tribunals for Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Her expertise in international law, conflict-related gender-based violence, and human rights has informed her work in courtrooms and through her writing. Today, we’ll explore the foundations of Sheila’s unwavering commitment to justice, the lessons learned from standing at the forefront of global human rights challenges, and her thoughts on the role of law in creating lasting change.
