Here at the United Nations, I am reminded why I wanted to be an international lawyer and why it is a privilege to be the UK candidate for the CIJ_ICJ. It would be an even greater privilege to serve the Court as a judge and work together to help the ICJ meet the challenges before it today.

The International Court of Justice provides predictability, stability and security. As the 🇬🇧 candidate for the ICJ, I will use my experience advising states from every region of the globe to strengthen the international rule of law at every opportunity, for the benefit of all.

It's the start this week of the new term University of Oxford & the return of our PIL Discussion Group seminars. Do join in person (All Souls College is gorgeous in the spring sunshine) or online!
