Professor Sheri Rosenberg Named 2015 Peace Ambassador by The Center for Peacebuilding
The Center for Peacebuilding (CIM), an organization that seeks to rebuild trust and foster reconciliation among the people of Bosnia & Herzegovina, has named Professor Sheri P. Rosenberg a 2015 Peace Ambassador for her diligent work and accomplishments in peacebuilding. As a Peace Ambassador, Professor Rosenberg will attend International Peace Week in Bosnia & Herzegovina as a distinguished guest. The events will be held in September in Sanski Most.
Professor Rosenberg has dedicated much of her human rights career to the field of genocide and atrocity prevention, and has won landmark cases for non-discrimination in the European Court of Human Rights related to the post-conflict rebuilding in Bosnia. She is Faculty Director of the Cardozo Law Institute in Holocaust and Human Rights and directs the Human Rights an Atrocity Prevention Clinic.
This award is the second distinguished honor received by Professor Rosenberg this month. She was chosen last week to receive the Outstanding Educator Award at the Spirit of Anne Frank Awards Gala, which will take place on June 15 in New York City. This award recognizes the outstanding leadership and dedication of educators who inspire their students, and who teach about the dangers of intolerance and prejudice and urge those around them into action.
