Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said diversity and representation will also enrich the decision-making capacity of courts.
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Saturday said diversity and representation are crucial not only for rectifying historical injustices but also for enriching the decision-making capacity of courts.
Speaking on the occasion of the second annual lecture series to mark the first sitting of the Supreme Court on January 28, 1950, Chief Justice Chandrachud welcomed International Court of Justice Judge Hilary Charlesworth as a chief guest of the programme.
"It is important to emphasise that diversity and representation is crucial not only for rectifying historical injustices but also for enriching the decision-making capacity of courts. The evolving representation of nation-states before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has notably challenged its historically monocultural and Eurocentric outlook," he said.
