The Yale Journal of International Law recently published an article by Roqia Samim, the Klau Institute’s program director for research and policy.
Samim is a human rights lawyer from Afghanistan. She earned her LL.M. in International Human Rights Law from Notre Dame Law School.

The analysis explores current monitoring and enforcement mechanisms while also considering how sociocultural and political factors influence the implementation and protection of women’s rights in conflict-affected regions.
