Actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie has spoken on behalf of victims she's met at a discussion on international law and justice.Angelina Jolie has spoken passionately at a symposium on international law and justice at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. During a discussion about foreign policy and the pursuit of justice Angelina spoke on behalf of victims she's met. "I've seen refugees return to live among the same people who attacked them. They are returning to the same lawlessness that sent them running in the first place," she explains. "I've seen aid workers tear up as they put ladies on a bus and say, 'I don't know what we're sending them back to… I don't know if the ICC is the answer. And I don't know what type of court is, or what it would need to be to make all of us agree and make it strong enough. But I do know this: No mother who had her children killed in front of her, no young girl sold into slavery, no boy kidnapped and forced to be a child soldier and no young girl like the 3-year-old I met in Sierra Leone, who had her limbs cut off, should be expected to simply forget. No one should have to choose between peace and justice."
