The Statement, which has been promulgated internally earlier today, outlines areas where further action will be undertaken to promote gender equality at the Court.<\/p>\n<p>With this Statement, the Court reaffirms its commitment to achieving gender equality and a safe and inclusive workplace culture and environment, through the practical implementation of the goals and priorities set in the Court-wide and organ specific Strategic Plans for 2019-2021, as well as the five priority areas from the Court-wide Staff Wellbeing Framework identified in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gender equality is not only right and necessary but a driver of performance and success for the organisation,&#8221; stated the Principals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">_<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icc-cpi.int\/itemsDocuments\/gender-equality\/210430-ge-eng.pdf\">You can access this High-Level Statement on Gender Equality by the ICC here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ICC Principals adopt High-Level Statement on Gender Equality: \u201cGender equality is not only right and necessary but a driver of performance and success for the organisation\u201d \u200bOn 30 April 2021, Judge Piotr Hofma\u0144ski, President of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":11296,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[63,90,85,18,11,65,88,1,17],"tags":[327,628,102],"class_list":["post-11295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-calls-and-statements","category-editor-selection","category-human-rights","category-international-justice","category-issues","category-others","category-slider","category-uncategorized","category-women","tag-icc","tag-international-criminal-court","tag-womens-rights-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11295"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11298,"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11295\/revisions\/11298"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
