Letter of Congratulations - Louise Arbour (Nov. 2005)

Ms. Louise Arbour
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
Office of the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights
United Nations Office at Geneva
1211 Geneva 10
SWITZERLAND

 

Dear Madam Commissioner:

I would like to congratulate you on being awarded the Thomas J. Dodd Prize in International Justice and Human Rights by the University of Connecticut on October 17.

This prize recognizes your invaluable contribution to the advancement of human rights in Canada and abroad and to the emergency of a new international humanitarian law. Whether it be as a professor, a judge of the Supreme Court of Canada, Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda or UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, you have accomplished an enormous and very important task that desires high praise.

Once again, please allow me to extend my heartiest congratulations.

Yours truly,

 

Mary Gusella
