Angelina Jolie Speaks at Foreign Relations Headquarters
October 18, 2008 by: HOLLYSCOOP TEAM

Here's tidbits from her speech:
She said, "Over the past seven years, I've worked with UNHCR and I've traveled around the world trying to bring attention to refugees...It's been a remarkable education."
"I've seen refugees return to live among the same people who attacked them," she said. "They are returning to the same lawlessness that sent them running in the first place. I've seen aid workers tear up as they put ladies on a bus and say, 'I don't know what we're sending them back to.'"
"I don't know if the ICC is the answer. And I don't know what type of court is, or what it would need to be to make all of us agree and make it strong enough," Jolie said. "But I do know this: No mother who had her children killed in front of her, no young girl sold into slavery, no boy kidnapped and forced to be a child soldier and no young girl like the 3-year-old I met in Sierra Leone, who had her limbs cut off, should be expected to simply forget. No one should have to choose between peace and justice."
