It describes several innovative efforts to address the justice gap through law school post-graduate programs that provide continuing support for pro bono representation with a focus on CUNY Law’s programs. Most notably, the article describes the Launch Pad for Justice (“LaunchPad”), a project of CUNY Law’s Community Legal Resource Network (“CLRN”). In partnership with the New York State Unified Court System’s access to justice efforts, CUNY Law’s CLRN created a structure to support the provision of supervised, limited scope representation to low-income, self-represented litigants in housing court and elsewhere.","PeriodicalId":220741,"journal":{"name":"City University of New York Law Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121632447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This important advancement in the recognition of women’s human rights is due in large part to the pioneering and visionary work of Rhonda Copelon and my fellow panelists, Felice Gaer, Patricia Viseur-Sellers, and Sir Nigel Rodley. Thank you to the City University of New York Law Review and Lisa Davis for the opportunity and the honor. I was asked to speak about efforts to address rape of women and girls in post-earthquake Haiti and a related decision of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (“IACHR”) recognizing that Haiti, like all States, has a responsibility to prevent and punish sexual violence perpetrated by non-State actors. I will first provide a brief historical backdrop, focusing on efforts led by Rhonda Copelon to address state-sponsored rape on the international level following the 1991 coup d’etat in Haiti. Then, I will provide an overview of rape in Haiti since the January 12, 2010 earthquake and a request filed with the IACHR by women and girls living in displaced persons camps in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, arguing that that the government was violating their right to be free from sexual violence. Finally, I will discuss the significance of the Commission’s decision granting this request with respect to the government’s obligation to exercise due diligence to prevent, investigate, prosecute, and punish private actors of rape.","PeriodicalId":220741,"journal":{"name":"City University of New York Law Review","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121171163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Her extensive work on women’s human rights has had a formative influence in shaping the discourse on human rights under international and domestic law. Professor Copelon’s accomplishments in the human rights field are too numerous to list; however, it can be said that she is most remembered for opening United States federal courts to international human rights violations and demanding that international tribunals address gender-based violence.1 Rhonda Copelon passed away on May 6, 2010. Her groundbreaking work continues to inspire human rights activists and lawyers in all parts of the world.
