7:00pm

IPJ Institute

For a summary of the Otunnu lecture, click here.

A presentation by Olara Otunnu who served for eight years as UN Under-Secretary-General and Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict. Mr. Otunnu, an internationally known advocate for children's rights and protections, grew up in northern Uganda. He will discuss two related themes: the international campaign he led for the United Nations to ensure effective protection for children exposed to armed conflict, and the situation in northern Uganda, which he describes as the worst place in the world to be a child today. A reception will follow the lecture.
