Go On! Women in the International Judiciary

Go On! makes note of interesting conferences, lectures, and similar events.
Geneva Graduate Institute announced open registration for Fionnuala Ní Aoláin — “Embodiment, Representation, and Maternality in International Institutional Spaces”: 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, which will be held on November 14, 2022, over zoom. 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 next lecture will feature Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism. Register here.
