April 2003: Remembrance Month and ICC Victims Trust Fund Campaign

The Independent Student Coalition for the International Criminal Court 
(http://www.isc-icc.org) would
like to invite you to participate in our Remembrance Month during the month of
April. We are dedicating this month to many historical, yet tragic, events
that occurred during April:

      Ø April 6, 1994     Rwandan Genocide began
      Ø April 17, 1975    Khmer Rouge gained power in Cambodia
      Ø April 24, 1914    Armenian Genocide began
      Ø April 29          Holocaust Memorial Day

To commemorate the victims of these and many other horrific events, the
ISC-ICC joins the Washington Working Group on the International Criminal Court
(WICC) in their Victims Trust Fund Campaign (http://www.victimstrustfund.org).

The Victims Trust Fund will provide direct reparations to victims of human
rights abuses and their family through the International Criminal Court. The
campaign is an important way to both raise money for the fund, and educate
Americans about how they can get themselves and their congressional
representatives involved with Victims Rights and the ICC.

You can help with the campaign by distributing information about the Victims
Trust Fund and the campaign in your local community and encourage other
individuals and organizations to get involved as well. If you would like to
join the campaign, you will receive a kit which consists of information about
the International Criminal Court, the Victims' Trust Fund and the details
about the campaign as well other important and useful information that would
help you in your efforts to support the campaign.

For more information about how to get involved please contact Maria
Weydemuller, Interim Chair for the ISC-ICC Subcommittee on Victims Rights, at
