FLAC Welcomes Justice Edwin Cameron for Guest Lecture Entitled Social and Economic Rights-What Can Judges Do

Justice Edwin Cameron: Academic, jurist, author, and recently retired Constitutional Court judge in South Africa, has helped develop South African law to truly reflect the fundamental values of the Constitution. Moreover, his role in securing the inclusion of sexual orientation as a prohibited ground of discrimination in the Bill of Rights, as well as his advocacy for persons with HIV/Aids, has made him a key player in South African and international law. As the first South African in a high-profile public office speaking openly about his HIV status and experience taking antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), Justice Cameron has made a credible and crucial contribution to more accessible ARV treatment for all HIV-positive South Africans. During the apartheid era, he was a human rights lawyer. President Mandela appointed him a judge in 1994. He was elected to the office of Chancellor of Stellenbosch University (SU) in 2019.
