Produktbeschreibung
Nkemdilim Izuako's urgent moment of self-appraisal leads her to study law at university. This decision puts her on trial to face some of life's most gruelling tests, challenging her belief in honour, integrity, and justice. From surviving the Nigerian civil war, to several assassination attempts, exile, a forced retirement, and indirect confrontations with despots-including the top official of a Nigerian state and a president-Izuako continues to prove her mettle. In this candid memoir, she leads readers through an intimate encounter with different legal systems, highlighting her battles against corruption, mediocrity, sycophancy and self-aggrandisement. From her experience in the Nigerian judiciary to her work in The Gambia and then Solomon Islands, culminating with her record-breaking ten-year-one-month tenure as a judge in the United Nations Dispute Tribunal, Izuako's unwavering commitment to dispense justice without fear or favour, shines through. As she recounts the trials and triumphs that have shaped her life, she imparts invaluable lessons about resilience, perseverance, and the unwavering commitment to noble causes. Without Fear or Favour is a vivid and forthright account of one woman's battle to remain on the side of justice and truth, as she comes to the painful realisation that no utopian system of justice exists.
