University Of Auckland Senior Lecturer Delivers Powerful Message At ICJ

University of Auckland senior law lecturer Dr Fuimaono Dylan Asafo has been active in speaking out against climate change on global platforms. He participated in the oral hearings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the Obligations of States in respect of climate change.

He said in the court, “Mr President, members of the Court, we wish to end by emphasizing that the unlawful conduct contributing to climate change, constitutes structural and systemic racial, gender and intersectional discrimination. This means that we must all confront the truth that our current international legal, financial, economic and political systems are deeply implicated in the climate crisis."

“That said, the General Assembly’s Request for an advisory opinion offers the Court the most precious opportunity to interpret and advise on existing international law in its best possible light in order to empower all States and peoples to work together to decolonise international law and build a more equitable and just world for us all," he added.

The hearing commenced on December 2 and will continue till December 13. While addressing the President of the ICJ, he said, “Meitaki ma’ata, thank you very much for your kind attention.”
