David Scheffer was tasked with spearheading the historic mission to create a war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia within days of Madeleine Albright's confirmation as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in 1993. As senior adviser to Albright and then as President Clinton's ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues, Scheffer was at the forefront of the efforts that led to criminal tribunals for the Balkans, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Cambodia, and that resulted in the creation of the permanent International Criminal Court.
Scheffer, who is now the Mayer Brown/Robert A. Helman Professor of Law at Northwestern Law School, delivered a lecture is based on his book, All the Missing Souls, which offers a gripping insider's account of the international gamble to prosecute those responsible for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, and to redress some of the bloodiest human rights atrocities in our time.

During his ambassadorship, he negotiated and coordinated U.S. support for the establishment and operation of international and hybrid criminal tribunals and U.S. responses to atrocities anywhere in the world. He also headed the Atrocities Prevention Inter-Agency Working Group.
During the first term of the Clinton Administration, Professor Scheffer served as senior adviser and counsel to the U.S. Representative to the United Nations, Dr. Madeleine Albright. He served from 1993-96 on the Deputies Committee of the National Security Council.
Professor Scheffer has held visiting professorships at Northwestern Law, Georgetown University Law Center and George Washington University Law School, and taught at Duke University School of Law and Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs.
