. Mr. Bromley has also
regularly monitored developments within the U.N. human rights system. He conducted
research on sexual violence in support of the International Criminal Tribunals for
Rwanda and for the former Yugoslavia, and he reviewed international law
standards in legal briefs filed by Global Rights, as amicus curiae, in human rights cases before U.S. and
international courts. From 2001-2002, Mr. Bromley served as a Foreign Policy
Fellow in the office of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold. During that period, he staffed Senator
