Episode 2: Shireen Fisher

International judge Shireen Fisher is the next guest on our new podcast.

Justice Fisher has been heavily involved in a campaign by the International Association of Women Judges, of which she is a member, in helping female Afghan judges and their families leave Afghanistan after the Taliban came to power in 2021. She talks about the hugely substantial campaign, a branch of which IRLI is part of, and her prior work with the Special Court for Sierra Leone, now in residual status, and her time as a judge on the War Crimes Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, hearing a multiple of cases, including those of genocide.

Presented and produced by Evelyn McClafferty.

With thanks to our donors: Irish Aid, principally, and solicitors working in the Republic of Ireland, who - when applying for the renewal of their practicing certificates – have made a voluntary contribution to IRLI.
