It is with great sadness that we learned this weekend of the passing of Julia Taft, a member of our Genocide Prevention Task Force. Julia Taft led a life of public service, dedicated to work inside and outside of our government, at the United Nations and throughout the world as a champion for improving the lives of others. She will be greatly missed. As a member of our Task Force, Julia brought intense focus and energy to the work of genocide prevention, even as she struggled with her own illness in the last few months. We hope we can honor her contributions with a good report, worthy of her name. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Taft family.
