“That four great nations, flushed with victory and stung with injury stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason.” — from Jackson's Opening Statement before the International Military Tribunal

The mission of the Robert H. Jackson Center is to advance the legacy of Justice Jackson through education, exhibitry, and by pursuing the relevance of his ideas for our present generation. To that end, special emphasis will be made on educating youth on issues of justice and fairness, and in applying Jackson's views on international law as they relate to aggressive war, war crimes, and acts of terror in today's world.
