The Iraqi High Tribunal was set up to try people accused of crimes against humanity, including genocide, during the rule of Saddam Hussein from 1968 until the United States invaded in 2003. Juhi investigated cases, including those against Saddam and Muqtada al-Sadr, and served as the spokesperson for the High Tribunal.
Articles in The New York Times from the time of Saddam’s trial refer to Juhi as “the chief investigative judge of the tribunal.”
The University is undertaking certain security precautions for Juhi in conjunction with Cornell University Police and local, state and federal officials, according to a press release.
Juhi will be the Law School’s first Clarke Middle East Fellow. The Clarke Middle East Fund is part of the Clarke Center for International and Comparative Legal Studies at the Law School, which aims to connect scholars studying the Middle East.
Former Iraqi High Tribunal Judge
What "liberal " decided that this would be a good idea? This judge has had numerous threats on his life, and he now will put the entire Cornell campus and the City of Ithaca in jeapordy! I'll bet the Cornell "POLICE" do not have the resources to protect this individual, and I'll also bet that the Ithaca PD isn't even aware of his intentions of coming to this area. Someone with some common sense shoud re-evalute this offer to the "judge".
this will expose innocent
this will expose innocent cornell students with much higher risk
