This month features Ambassador Beth Van Schaack. Prior to returning to Stanford University, Dr. Van Schaack served as the Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice (GCJ) at the U.S. State Department, where she had previously served as Deputy. GCJ advised the Secretary of State and the Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights on issues related to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, and the deployment of the whole range of transitional justice mechanisms in states emerging from violence or repression. Beth joined us from the European University Institute in Florence, where she is a Visiting Fellow.
