This could not be a better choice at a time of repeated attacks against international justice. She is a former ICC judge at a time when the US administration is seekinng to destroy the ICC. She has headed the commission of Inquiry which found that Israel commited the crime of genocide at the time when many States are trying to defend and protect Israel’s actions. She has defended human rights, at a time when States are seeking to hollow out their rights commitments. She fought against apartheid institutionalized and systemic racism at a time when we are facing a resurgence of it. There is no better choice than Navi Pillay.
