Book launch | Feminist Judgements: Reimagining the International Criminal Court

Join us for the launch of Feminist Judgements: Reimaging the International Criminal Court (Cambridge University Press, 2025) co-edited by Kcasey McLoughlin, Rosemary Grey, Louise Chappell and Suzanne Varrall.

The pioneering volume rewrites a range of ICC decisions using a gender justice lens. With more than 60 contributors from across the globe, it re-examines the connections between gender, race, nationality, ethnicity, faith, and sexual orientation and demonstrates how the Court can apply its mandate to achieve justice for all.

The book will be launched by eminent jurist Navi Pillay, formerly of the International Criminal Court and the International Tribunal for Rwanda, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and most recently the UN Chair of the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Navi is the recipient of the 2025 Sydney Peace Prize.

Justice Jane Needham of the Federal Court of Australia will introduce Justice Navi Pillay.

The event will conclude with leading Australian poet Maxine Beneba Clarke reading from her poem, The Hope of a Thousand Small Lights, which was commissioned for the volume. Refreshments will be provided following the event.

Registration is essential for all wishing to attend.
