Today, one of our heroes ended his term as Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court. Below is a congratulatory letter on our behalf.

Dear Prosecutor,
Today is your last day as Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, and we wanted to say thank you and congratulations.

What you’ve done in your 9 years as Prosecutor has nothing-short of changed history. You helped articulate and manifest a future where massive crimes against humanity can no longer occur. You educated us here at Invisible Children, taught us the true meaning of international justice and global citizenship, and mentored us with your wisdom and vision. We do not hesitate to say that you have forever changed us, and we will never be able to properly thank you. When Joseph Kony is delivered to the Hague, we will celebrate together.

As you transition into a new season, we look forward to your world-shaking ideas to come. You are a hero. You are a visionary. And you prioritize the rights of the oppressed. The world longs for people like you, and we celebrate the massive accomplishments and planted seeds of your time at the ICC. Excited to see where the journey leads us in the coming years. We’ll be right here beside you.

Sincerely,
your friends at Invisible Children
