War crimes envoy from Iowa aims to push accountability
Stephen Rapp, the Iowa born diplomat sworn in as the State Department war crimes envoy, has a personal history of kidnapping and violence shaping his work. As a former U.N. prosecutor in Rwanda and Sierra Leone, he presses for national and international accountability while navigating U.S. double standards and debates over the International Criminal Court and probes into conflicts from Congo to Gaza.
