Mr. Conde is a prolific author and lecturer in the U.S. and Europe who has defended countless refugees and individuals persecuted for their faith in his private law practice.
In our interview, he shares how he first came face to face with the cost of freedom when he traveled behind the Iron Curtain to meet with Christians who didn’t even have a right to own their own Bible, something we can easily take for granted in a free country.
Every summer, Mr. Conde joins the International Institute of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France to teach a legal course in French and English on human rights terminology. At a time when social discourse has reduced human rights to human wants, and often forgotten the legal foundation for its existence, his work is essential.
