The African Union designated 2016 as the |African Year of Human Rights with Particular Focus on the Rights of Women.| Yet, we know little about the formidable African women who are transforming the face of regional and international justice. As we begin to understand the remarkable trend of women rising to the top judicial positions in Africa, now, more than ever before, the time has come to interrogate more closely the ascent of African women as judges in international courts. What have been their pathways to international courts? What do they do once they get there? What lessons can be drawn from their presence, roles and contributions? Focusing on three permanent courts--the African Court on Human and People's Rights (AfCHPR), the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and sitting at the juncture of feminist institutional theory and postcolonial feminist theory, the contributors to this book demonstrates how institutional arrangements can help explain women's ascent to international courts. They posit that the presence of African women judges contributes to judicial diversity--nay a gendered and racial diversity which contributes to the legitimacy of international courts as arenas for equal opportunity and equal justice. The contributions of African women on international courts goes beyond mere diversity. In documenting the lives, achievements, contributions, challenges and successes of African women judges, this book is the go-to resource for understanding and evaluating the contributions of African women judges in international courts.
