Rev. Karen Tse, October 9, 2016

In this justice struggle, hope lies within the human heart. Rev Tse will share her reflections on the movement to end torture as an investigative tool through early access to counsel and the tenacious generosity of heart that sometimes makes the seemingly impossible possible.

Karen Tse, international human rights lawyer, UU minister, and former public defender, founded International Bridges to Justice in 2000 to promote systemic global change in criminal justice. IBJ aims to end torture as an investigative tool by providing early access to counsel. Karen has trained the Cambodia’s first core group of public defenders, served as a United Nations Judicial Mentor, trained judges and prosecutors in Cambodia, and negotiated measures for judicial reform in China, Vietnam and Cambodia. Under her leadership, IBJ has expanded its programming to Rwanda, Burundi, Zimbabwe, and India. IBJ’s Global Defense Support Program brings assistance to public defenders worldwide, sponsors independent Justice Makers in 25 countries, and currently has a presence in over 40 countries. A graduate of UCLA Law School and Harvard Divinity School, Karen is a recipient of the Skoll Award for Social Innovation, Gleitsman International Award, Harvard Kennedy School Award, American Bar Association Human Rights Award, and was named by the US News and World Report as one of America’s Best Leaders.
