  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the 
accomplishments of Ms. Enid Adler, whose tireless work for human rights 
has bettered the city of Philadelphia. A graduate of Temple University, 
Villanova University School of Law, and Dickinson University School of 
Law, Ms. Adler has had a lifelong career as a human rights advocate.
  Enid Adler operates her own practice, which focuses on asylum 
immigration, family reunification, and international human rights. Ms. 
Adler is the past chairwoman of the International Law Committee of the 
Philadelphia Bar Association and, in 1997, formulated the only United 
States Twinning Program between the Philadelphia Bar and the Barreau de 
Lyon in France. In 2001, Ms. Adler was a founding member of the 
International Criminal Board and was crucial in creating its Code of 
Ethics. Ms. Adler is a member of the Coalition for the International 
Criminal Court (CICC) and serves on the Coalition's Team on the Crime 
of Aggression negotiations. This team created an amendment to the 
criteria to give the court jurisdiction over the crime, and it was 
completed

and passed in June 2010 at the International Criminal Court First 
Review Conference. She is a member of the CICC's teams for Women for 
Gender Justice, Legal Initiative, Victims Rights, Trust Fund for 
Victims, and serves on the Philadelphia Bar's International Business 
Initiative, Civil Rights, and other committees. In 2012, to celebrate 
the 10th Anniversary of the International Criminal Court, Ms. Adler 
initiated a series of three celebratory symposiums in Philadelphia, 
which were attended by the President and Vice President Judges from The 
Hague. Ms. Adler will be honored by the Marian Anderson Historical 
Society on May 31, 2014.
  It is a privilege to recognize a person whose commitment to human 
rights advocacy has brought attention to this issue for the 
Philadelphia region. I ask you and my other distinguished colleagues to 
join me in commending Ms. Adler for her lifetime of service as a human 
rights attorney.
