The International Law Association (ILA) hosted a guest presentation by Dr. Joanna Quinn, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, Department of Political Science.

For the past several years, Dr. Quinn’s research has focused on various mechanisms of transitional justice, including Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, Peace Negotiations and War Crimes Tribunals. In particular, Dr. Quinn has had extensive involvement in the Northern Ugandan peace and reconstruction process.

Omar heard Dr. Quinn speak in the summar of 2007 at a conference, Cross-Purposes? International Law and Political Settlements conference.  He posted his notes from the conference, which were subsequently referenced by someone else in Wikipedia under the Rwandan Genocide.
