That strong sense of fairness led me to train as a lawyer, so 13 years after my dad served on the NATO deployment in Bosnia, I went out to The Hague to be part of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the body established to bring to bear some semblance of justice following that conflict. I will never forget the testimony of witnesses to the most appalling of crimes against humanity. That experience showed me not only the importance of the international community, but the value of justice being done. Those principles are particularly important in the context of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and the Ukrainian people’s brave fight for freedom.
