INVITATION

James Crawford AC, FBA was elected a Judge of the International Court of Justice in No-vember 2014 and took up this position in February 2015 for a 9-year term. Previously he was Whewell Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge; he has also held chairs at Adelaide, Sydney and LaTrobe Universities in Australia and as Chang Jiang Distinguished Professor at Xi’an Jiaotong University, PRC. He was responsible for the ILC’s work on the International Criminal Court (1994) and for the second reading of the ILC Articles on State Responsibility (2001). During his practicing career, he appeared as counsel in some 100 cases before the International Court of Justice and other interna-tional tribunals. He has also been an active arbitrator both in inter-state and investment treaty disputes.

As those who had the privilege to know him are aware, judicial integrity, responsibility and fraternity were important values to Honourable Judge Charles D Gonthier, and he supported research, education and practical activities to promote sustainable development, in its economic, environ-mental and social dimensions. The legacy of values he embraced is kept alive through the Gonthier Endowment Fund established in his name, to support a new series of biennial Lectures. A world-class high caliber program equal to the man’s stature was envisioned, and we are pleased to unveil it with this letter of invitation. You are invited to join a select group of justices, deans, leaders, jurists and others from across Canada and the world, eager to broaden their minds on emerging law, justice and sustainability concerns, at the inaugural Charles D Gonthier Memorial Lecture to be heldon Friday, May 22, 2015 at 6:30 pm at the McGill Faculty Club.
