SUMMARY:Protecting judges in conflicts\, revolutions and times of politic
 al oppression
DESCRIPTION:HumanRightsRuleOfLawJudges are appointed to uphold the Rule o
 f Law. They take on responsibilities for society to ensure the impartial
 ity of legal process\, provide fairness in courts\, protect the rights o
 f individuals and take important decisions upon the liberty of citizens.
  The role of judges in times of conflict\, revolution and political oppr
 ession requires bravery to uphold the Rule of Law. There are many famous
  historical examples\, but we have witnessed in modern times judges who 
 have upheld their moral and ethical standards to ensure the Rule of Law 
 prevails. Conversely\, others have not\, some because they have feared f
 or their lives and that of their family (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09
 /16/world/americas/venezuela-rights.html). This session will examine the
 se problems in the 21st century. We will discuss certain jurisdictions w
 here judges are the target of the enemies of the Rule of Law\, we will l
 ook at case histories and discuss what protections can be made and how t
 he international community should respond? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/wo
