Executive Director at Global Justice Center

New York, New York, United States

Overview

Elise Keppler is the Executive Director of the Global Justice Center, leveraging over two decades of experience in international law to advance justice for serious crimes, including sexual and gender-based violence. A UC Berkeley Law graduate, she previously spent twenty years at Human Rights Watch, focusing on accountability in several African nations.

Fueled by a passion for social justice, Elises interest in human rights was influenced by learning about the Holocaust from an early age.

She played an integral role in the multiyear campaign to secure the surrender of former Liberian president Charles Taylor to the Special Court for Sierra Leone.
