The SNF-funded project “Diversity on the International Bench: Building Legitimacy for International Courts and Tribunals”, led by Professors Neus Torbisco-Casals and Andrew Clapham (Graduate Institute, Geneva), continues to host its monthly public lecture series on “Women’s Voices in the International Judiciary”. The series aims to reflect on the lack of diversity in the international judiciary —especially gender diversity—, which raises concerns not just in terms of descriptive representation and symbolic self-identification, but also regarding unconscious bias and systemic privileging of specific ideologies or positions in the process of adjudication.

The eighth lecture will welcome Hilary Charlesworth, Judge of the International Court of Justice, the first Australian woman elected to the court and the fifth woman ever elected. The lecture will take place on May 30th, 2020 on Zoom at 6:30PM (CEST). To register for this event, click here.
