Coming from different professional backgrounds, they will candidly share their experience and advice with the audience through an interactive discussion.

• What drove you to international law as a career, and what were your first steps?
• What are some of the challenges that you faced coming up in your career, and how did you tackle them?
• What advice do you have for people, particularly women, who are embarking on a career in international law?

Panelists

• Patricia Galvao Teles, Member of the United Nations International Law Commission and Professor, Autonomous University of Lisbon
• Michelle Jarvis, Deputy Head, International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism on Syria (IIIM)
