In this episode of Perspectives, we are delighted to share an interview with Alka Pradhan, an extraordinary lawyer and advocate for torture prevention.
Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, Ms Pradhan serves as Human Rights Counsel for Ammar al Baluchi at the Guantanamo Bay Military Commissions, and as Associate Counsel for Al Hassan at the International Criminal Court.
Over a number of years, she has seen first-hand the impact of torture on defendants she has represented.
Ms Pradhan was member of the expert drafting committee for the Méndez Principles on Effective Interviewing, sharing her deep insights into the application of human rights to counter-terrorism situations and the impact of torture on fair trials. She is also a forthright media commentator on these issues.
