About our Board of Directors

Hannah Atkins will always be
remembered as one of our
champions. We walk in her
footsteps.
When Hannah Diggs Atkins was 44
years old, America was a very
turbulent land. Martin Luther King, Jr.
had just been assassinated. A war
was raging in Vietnam. Economic
disparity gripped the nation, with large numbers of people trapped in
poverty. Women and minorities were still struggling for equal rights -- even
after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Hannah's friends and
neighbors persuaded her to run for election to the State Legislature.

In July 1998 in Rome, 120 Member States of the United Nations
adopted a treaty to establish -- for the first time in the history of the
world -- a permanent international criminal court. This treaty entered
into force on 1 July 2002, after sixty nations had
become parties to the Statute through ratification
or accession.
Kofi Annan -- the UN Secretary-General at the time
-- commented on the accomplishment: "The long-
held dream of a permanent International Criminal
Court is nearing reality. Our hope is that, by
punishing the guilty, the ICC will bring some comfort to the surviving victims
and to the communities that have been targeted. More important, we hope it
will deter future war criminals, and bring nearer the day when no ruler, no
State, no junta and no army anywhere will be able to abuse human rights with
impunity."
The members of the Oklahoma City chapter of the United Nations Association
celebrate the establishment of the International Criminal Court. For more
