Is there anything Angelina Jolie CAN'T do? The 33 year-old mother of six recently snagged the top spot on Forbes' Most Influential Celebs list from Oprah, and quickly followed it up with an article in TIME magazine urging the UN to take action in Darfur.
The long-time humanitarian and refugee advocate writes,
- “Friday is a defining moment in the history of justice. The members of the United Nations Security Council will be presented with the results of the International Criminal Court’s Darfur investigation — an investigation that they requested. Their response will determine whether there is going to be an international standard of justice that holds perpetrators accountable for the worst crimes in the world.”
“The evidence the prosecutor has presented is clear and compelling. Millions of people have been displaced; hundreds of thousands have been killed and, at the center of it all stands Sudanese President Omar al Bashir who has been indicted on seven counts of war crimes and five counts of crimes against humanity.”
