► Peggy, a native of San Francisco, graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, with a B.A. in Communication Studies.
► Shayla, who was born in Orlando, Florida, is a graduate of Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she majored in International Business and Emerging Nations.
All three contributed to Victims’ Right to Remedy: Awarding Meaningful Reparations at the ECCC (2011), a report jointly issued last month by Berkeley's International Human Rights Law Clinic, along with Access to Justice Asia, based in Singapore, and the San Francisco-based Center for Justice & Accountability.
Supervising Saira, Peggy, and Shayla was our colleague, Laurel E. Fletcher, Clinical Professor Law and Director of International Human Rights Law Clinic at Berkeley Law.
Released to coincide with the start of trial in Case 002, the Victims’ Remedy report recommended ways the ECCC, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, might adapt its procedures to grant redress in line with international practice. In their guest post below, Saira, Peggy, and Shayla discuss key features of the report.
