The Arthur C. Helton Memorial Lecture was established by the Council and the family of Arthur C. Helton, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who died in the August 2003 bombing of the UN headquarters in Baghdad. The Helton Lectureship is an annual event at which one or more speakers address pressing issues in the broad field of human rights and humanitarian concerns.
Arthur Helton, a respected lawyer and human rights activist, devoted his life to improving the lives of others. He was director of peace and conflict studies and senior fellow for refugee studies and preventive action at the Council. He was also an adjunct professor at Columbia University Law School.
