Brenda is an alumna of the AGRN and currently a member of the UN-Committee (term 2023-2026). She is a laureate of Franco-German Peace and Reconciliation Award as well as the Women4Women Human Rights Award and was recently awarded a Diamond Jubilee Medal by the President of Uganda. As the first Ugandan elected to the Committee, Brenda will provide insights into its structure, working methods and objectives, and share her personal experiences of working in the Committee.

Lunch Lecture by Prosper Maguchu
We are delighted to announce a "lunch talk" on "New Discovery Channel: Is the U.S Subpoena 1782 a New Powerful Solution to ‘Follow the Money’ in Dollarized Economies?” by Dr. Prosper Maguchu on 16 June 2023 (12:00 pm, CET).
Prosper is an alumnus of the AGRN and is currently an Assistant Professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and an Associate Professor at the Universitas Hasanuddin in Indonesia. Statute 1782 is a US law that could be used to compel US banks to share important information in the prosecution of money laundering in domestic litigation of other states – this obligation to cooperate can be a powerful tool in the fight against money laundering as it provides important evidence of financial transactions in the US that might otherwise be unavailable and can be used to “follow the money“ in a more efficient way.
The event will take place online via zoom. Please register via transcrim.rewi@hu-berlin.de.
