In The Crossfire

Overview

Louise Arbour has what her predecessor called "the job from hell." She is the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights at a time when jihad and 'the war against terror' dominate world affairs and erode human rights. Arbour is a Canadian who, as UN's War Crimes Prosecutor for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, indicted Slobodan Milosevic. She served four years on Canada's Supreme Court before Kofi Annan gave her another platform for her activism and strong views of human rights.
