GLENSIDE, Pensilvânia, 13 de maio de 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Roland Adjovi, acadêmico residente do The College of Global Studies da Arcadia University, foi eleito para Grupo de Trabalho das Nações Unidas sobre Detenção Arbitrária. O mandato de três anos (2014-16) começa imediatamente.

Jurista com extensa experiência de ensino, Adjovi trabalhou como diretor acadêmico no Arcadia Center na Tanzânia de 2009 a 2013 através do The College of Global Studies na Arcadia University. Na Arcadia, ele dá aula em um curso sobre leis de direitos humanos internacionais e é membro do Coletivo de Estudos Pan-Africanos da Universidade, que patrocina palestras e apresentações na Arcadia durante todo o ano sobre África e sua Diáspora.

"Com uma base impressionante em educação e direito internacional, Roland Adjovi traz qualidades e pontos fortes que irão transformá-lo em um membro muito valioso para o Grupo de Trabalho", disse a Dra. Nicolette DeVille Christensen, reitora da Arcadia University. "Tenho certeza de que sua experiência vai aprofundar e enriquecer seu conhecimento, sua capacidade de ensino e serviço dedicados à comunidade internacional. Aplaudimos sua indicação."

O Grupo de Trabalho das Nações Unidas foi estabelecido em 1991 como subsidiário do Conselho de Direitos Humanos com foco em detenção arbitrária. O Grupo de Trabalho investiga reclamações e conduz missões de campo envolvendo detenções arbitrárias em todo o mundo e trabalha com indivíduos, governos e organizações civis para resolver as violações. O Grupo de Trabalho recentemente lidou com reclamações da Baía de Guantánamo, Egito, Argélia, Israel, Irã, China, Tailândia, Iraque e Uzbequistão.

Adjovi é especialista em direitos humanos e direito internacional, editor e palestrante nos dois tópicos. Em 2010, foi o palestrante principal em uma sessão informativa na ONU em Nairóbi, apresentando as regras administrativas da ONU e, no ano passado, publicou um artigo no African Yearbook of International Law que criticava a aparentemente injusta absolvição e sentença branda no caso Gumisiriza et al. (2008, 2009), no qual o General Wilson Gumisiriza e subordinados militares associados com a rebelião militar do presidente Paul Kagame de Ruanda foram acusados dos crimes cometidos em 1994.

"A indicação do Sr. Adjovi será muito bem recebida por todos aqueles cujas vidas e bem-estar são afetados por detenções arbitrárias", afirmou Lorna Stern, vice-presidente e diretora-executiva do The College of Global Studies na Arcadia University. "O Sr. Adjovi combina acuidade intelectual e legal rigorosa com uma profunda compreensão do contexto global da detenção. Sua reputação genuína de integridade e conhecimento sobre os direitos do Estado e do indivíduo será muito útil neste importante posto."

Adjovi serviu como funcionário legal sênior no Escritório de Registro do Tribunal Criminal Internacional de Ruanda, como assistente-legal da Organização pela Unidade Africana e como principal conselheiro em um bem-sucedido caso contra a Tanzânia perante a Corte Africana sobre Direitos Humanos e dos Povos na questão do Rev. Christopher R. Mtikila contra a República Unida da Tanzânia.

Adjovi possui o título de bacharel em Direito e Administração Pública, mestrado em Ciência Política e mestrado em Direito em Direitos Humanos na Universidade de Paris. Ele é o quarto africano a participar do grupo de trabalho desde seu estabelecimento.
