Angelina Jolie and Peter Gabriel will co-host a benefit gala for Witness, the international human rights group. The event, will be held at The Supper Club in Times Square, on December 5, 2005 in New York City and will include performances by Emmylou Harris, Nile Rodgers and Chic, and other special guests will be announced soon, according to press release from Witness.
The Oscar winning actress Angelina Jolie, who is also known worldwide as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency for which she just received the United Nations Global Humanitarian Action Award, traveled with Witness Executive Director Gillian Caldwell in May to Sierra Leone where they met with the President and discuss the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) final report investigating the civil war.
Witness produced “Witness to Truth,” a companion video to the TRC’s written report, which has been key to engaging civil society throughout Sierra Leone in the peace-building and reconciliation process over the past year. Jolie also helped secure key commitments by the country’s president to implement the TRC’s recommendations and of course the benefit, will show Witness’ work in the West African country of Sierra Leone.
