Lucy Cavendish Law Society: In Conversation with ICJ Judge Mahmoud Hmoud

Speaker: H.E. Judge Mahmoud Hmoud, from the International Court of Justice

The discussion will revolve around the role and contemporary work of the ICJ, the place of international law in responding to today’s global crises, and the evolving relationship between the UN’s principal judicial organ and the wider international community. Drawing on H.E.’s distinguished career as a diplomat, legal adviser, former chairman and member of the UN International Law Commission, and now judge of the Court, Judge Hmoud will reflect on past landmark cases, the Court’s growing workload, and his own path from representing Jordan in international negotiations and proceedings to serving on the world court bench.

There will be plenty of time for questions from students, fellows, and guests, making this a valuable opportunity for anyone interested in international law, diplomacy, or careers in global governance.

All are free to attend but please register so the organisers can manage numbers.
