Championing justice on global stage

Ní Ghrálaigh's recognition stems from her pivotal role in international legal advocacy. As part of the South African legal team at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), she helped present a case accusing "Israel" of committing genocide in Gaza.

Her powerful closing statement at the ICJ garnered widespread acclaim, cementing her reputation as a fearless advocate for justice and human rights.

Journalist Owen Jones described it as "earth-shattering," noting that it "floored" him, while The National reported that her statement painted a powerful picture of "Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza," resonating deeply with audiences and sparking a particularly emotional response from those following the case.
