Penny Martin will speak at an event on “International Courts and Tribunals: Who Decides on the Decision-Makers in International Law?” jointly organised by CIArb Singapore and the Singapore branch of the International Law Association (SG-ILA).
Penny will provide an overview of international judicial selection procedures, with a focus on those of the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, based on the findings of her co-authored book “Selecting International Judges: Principle, Process, and Politics,” which will be followed by a panel discussion on practical insights from the selection processes in different international courts and tribunals and international arbitration and the interplay of political, pragmatic and strategic considerations.
The event will conclude with a networking drinks reception, hosted by Three Crowns. The event will be moderated by Charis Tan (Peter & Kim) and Penny will be joined on the panel by Rodman Bundy (Squire Patton Boggs) and Derek Loh (Deputy Director-General (Economic) at the International Affairs Division of the Attorney-General’s Chambers).
The event will take place on Tuesday 5 March 2024 at Three Crowns in Singapore.
