Bianca Jagger
George W. Bush and his administration embarked on a full-scale assault on civil liberties, human rights and the rule of law, walking away from his international obligations, tearing up international treaties, protocols and UN conventions.
Bianca Jagger
The mere fact of an American being present could help save the lives of innocent people. That's why I believe in the importance of bearing witness, to become a voice for the voiceless.
Bianca Jagger
A man who gets divorced is not forever going to be talked about for it. There are very different standards that we have for women than we have for men.
Bianca Jagger
I believe the only time when we can call for intervention is when there is an ongoing genocide.
Bianca Jagger
The death penalty is being applied in the United States as a fatal lottery.
Bianca Jagger
During the first 10 years of my life, while my parents were married, I enjoyed a privileged upbringing. After their divorce, my life was difficult.
Bianca Jagger
