NAWJ co-hosts Colonel Linda Murnane and Hon. Lisa Walsh are honored to once again present this conference with co-host International Federation for Peace and Sustainable Development (IFPSD), founded and led by CEO Salwa Kader, NAWJ member, supporter and long-time friend. Founded in 2001, the IFPSD through its presence on five continents, has raised awareness and developed programming to reinforce the United Nation’s commitment to international peace, security and justice through education, public relations and community outreach initiatives. The IFPSD focuses its efforts across the following key subject pillars:   Women’s Empowerment, Human Rights,  Human Trafficking, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Interfaith Dialogue, Protection of Cultural Heritage, and Family Health.

This year's program focuses upon women in the Middle East and Africa and on the global impact of COVID on women. Following a welcome session with prominent diplomats and dignitaries, Colonel Linda Murnane will moderate a discussion with Ms. Rachel Irura, Head of the Witness Support and Protection Unit for the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals. Following this session, Ms. Kader will moderate a discussion with diplomatic and political leadership in the Middle East on the effects of gender upon statelessness and women’s rights in the region. Following these sessions, NAWJ will host our popular  “Tea and Ethics,” inviting  judges from around the world, with the assistance of the U.S. State Department Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, to join us in discussion of issues affecting their home countries. Following Tea and Ethics, the IFPSD offers an optional virtual tour of the United Nations, led by a United Nations docent.
