ICYMI: Amann on A Nuremberg Woman and the Hague Academy

ICYMI: Diane Marie Amann, University of Georgia School of Law, has published A Nuremberg Woman and the Hague Academy at 35 European Journal of International Law 813 (2024). Here is the abstract.

This article, which forms part of the journal's special review series marking the centenary of the Hague Academy of International Law, draws from the author's ongoing research into the roles that lawyers and other women professionals played at post-World War II trials. The article focuses on the life of one “Nuremberg woman,” Dr. Aline Chalufour, who attended the Academy in 1937 and again in 1957. In between, she worked in what is now Vietnam as a colonial schoolteacher, in Canada as a Free French propagandist for de Gaulle, at Nuremberg and Hamburg as a war crimes prosecutor, and in France as one of the country's first women judges. Chalufour's experiences shed light on how marginalized groups fared during the Hague Academy's first 100 years. They further call upon the Academy, and the field it promotes, to do better in the next 100 years.
