Outgoing US Ambassador Douglas Kmiec will today deliver a public talk the promoters say will probably be his last one prior to his departure from Malta.
Prof. Kmiec resigned in early April after a report by the State Department’s Office of the Inspector General criticised his behaviour.
He assumed office in Malta in September 2009.
The talk, in a series organised by the English-Speaking Union of Malta, will be themed Of Scalawags And Eternal Flames: Political Rhetoric And American History. It will be held at the St James Cavalier Music Room, in Valletta, starting at 6 p.m.
A leading American legal scholar and author, Prof. Kmiec has had a distinguished academic career.
