Mr. Patrick Vinck presenting the ICC-OTP Guest Lecture at the interim seat of the Court on 28 September 2008.
Patrick Vinck is the Director of the Berkeley-Tulane Initiative for Vulnerable Populations at the University of California, Berkeley and Adjunct Professor at the Payson Center for International Development, Tulane University. The survey “Living with Fear – a Population Based Survey on Attitudes about Peace, Justice and Social Reconstruction in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo” was undertaken by the Human Rights Center at the University of California, Berkeley, the Payson Center at Tulane University, and the International Center for Transitional Justice. Focusing on areas most affected by conflict in eastern DRC, the survey was conducted from September to December 2007 among a sample population of 2,620 individuals in the Ituri district in Oriental province and the provinces of North and South Kivu. It sought to assess exposure to violence among the population, understand the priorities and needs of Congolese civilians affected by the conflicts, and capture attitudes about peace, social reconstruction, and transitional justice mechanisms.
