International Criminal Court: Women's groups express outrage at appointment of anti-choice and anti-democracy candidates

Women's Caucus for Gender Justice As the nomination period for judges to the International Criminal Court draws to a close on Saturday, at least two governments have chosen to bypass the nominations of qualified women and have instead put forward questionable candidates
