Fulbright Fellow M'Ballou Sanogho
M’Ballou Sanogho RLAW ’20, was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to study international law at the CY Cergy Paris University School of Law. She said her goal is to contribute to the lives of victims of human rights crimes as an attorney.
During law school, she worked as a legal intern with the International Justice Project, representing victims of the war in Sudan who sought asylum in the United States. She conducted client interviews and drafted reported cases of human rights violations, which were submitted to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
“My interest in becoming an international lawyer can be traced back to my time as a child in Ivory Coast, West Africa," she said "At a young age, I faced many of the devastating situations endured by my country at large. I experienced civil war and adverse cultural practices. The experiences have triggered my desire to contribute to the lives of people who are facing similar experiences, especially in Africa, where human rights violations are still very prominent.”
