Angelina Jolie Attends Trial

Actress Angelina Jolie reportedly attended a war crimes trial in The Hague today, a trial that had young people testifying against Congolese militia leader Thomas Lubanga.

"Children deserve special protection. Using children in conflict is a heinous crime and destroys the very fabric of a society," Jolie told Agence France Presse regarding the charges against Lubanga for allegedly using kids to fight in his militia.

"I imagined how difficult it must be for all the brave young children who have come to testify against him," she said.

Jolie is a goodwill ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency.

The actress is scheduled to attend the Cannes Film Festival tomorrow in France for the debut of Brad Pitt's film 'Inglourious Basterds.'

  • Oh please, she is clearly trying to buy a good person's image now. Can't wait for her to get out of the picture. She is a joke of herself, makes me laugh every time someone goes "Oh she is so good.."

    • Next time can you write in English so we can understand what the heck you're talking about. You seem to study her a lot for someone who doesn't like her. You need to go back to school and stop obsessing over her.

    • I care. I don't think she was there to give opinions. It's called spreading awareness and it worked because you're commenting on it. Oooh.. watch out, she's going for your man next! Keep it up Angie, let the haters hate!
