Carmen María Argibay (15 June 1939 – 10 May 2014) was a member of the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice. She was the first woman to be nominated for the Court by a democratic government in Argentina, and caused some controversy upon declaring herself an atheist and a supporter of legal abortion. ==Career prior to the Supreme Court== Born in Buenos Aires, Argibay studied at the Law Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires, becoming a lawyer on 11 June 1964. She worked in a number of public judicial offices and taught in several universities, until 1976. On 24 March of that year, a coup d'état started the dictatorship of the National Reorganization Process. The military junta had her arrested, without formal charges, and held her in prison until December. After being released she devoted herself to private law practice. After the return of democratic rule, on 7 June 1984, she was appointed judge in a criminal court in Buenos Aires. She was promoted in 1988 and again in 1993, and finally retired from her post on 1 January 2002. Argibay is a member of the International Association of Penal Law, and a founding member of the International Association of Woman Judges, over which she presided from 1998 to 2000.

She took part as a judge in the Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal on Japan’s Military Sexual Slavery, which gathered in December 2000 to try Japanese military for war crimes, particularly on the issue of "comfort women". In June 2001 she was appointed ''ad litem'' judge at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carmen Argibay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
