Abstract

President Austin, Chief Justice Callahan, honored guests, ladies and gentlemen. Today, we are gathered to conclude and commemorate the Thomas J. Dodd Center's year-long symposium on human rights and the rule of law. It has been an exciting year. When we dedicated the center a year ago, we were honored by the presence of Nobel Laureates Elie Wiesel and Oscar Arias, as well as the President of the United States, Bill Clinton. Since then, we hosted the Schweitzer Environmental Youth Ward, we dedicated the Simon Konover Auditorium, and in between we held symposiums, programs, and debates on relevant human rights issues. And today, as we prepare to end the first year of the Dodd Center and begin a new one, it is difficult to imagine a more distinguished and timely guest than Antonio Cassese, President of the International Tribunal for Bosnia.
