| A filmed panel debate at Garden Court Chambers on 'whistleblowing' with Kathryn Bolkovac, a former UN Human Rights Investigator dismissed and vilified for disclosing the truth about UN and international forces involvement in trafficking of women and girls for prostitution in Bosnia. Kathryn successfully fought a legal battle to challenge a dismissal and allegation of fraud, fabricated to remove her from her job because of her raising issues of complicity by international personnel in the facilitation and use of trafficked woman and girls. Kathryn was represented by Garden Court barrister Stephanie Harrison who is renowned for her work in defending civil liberties and human rights. Stephanie outlines the limits of legal protection for those like Kathryn, who put themselves on the line - exposing serious wrong doing and seeking to hold government and other bodies to account for human rights violations. With 20 years' experience as a barrister, she works on cases spanning immigration, discrimination, public law and detention. |
