Just Security is thrilled to welcome three new members to our Editorial Board: E. Tendayi Achiume, Barbara McQuade, and Matiangai Sirleaf.

Each brings a wealth of knowledge and deep professional experience in their areas of expertise, including human rights and racial justice, criminal law, terrorism and national security law, global health, transitional justice, and more.
