The Prominent Woman in 2012 International Law Award is awarded annually by the Women in International Law Interest Group in recognition of a woman recipient's contribution to the development of international law. The 2012 honoree and luncheon speaker, Mireille Delmas-Marty, has contributed greatly to matters related to the processes of internationalization of law. She has focused on the interplay between national, regional and international norms as seen through the lens of the universalism of human rights. Professor Delmas-Marty has served as a member of the Commission on Reform of the Penal Code, President of the Criminal Justice and Human Rights Commission, the consulting committee for the revision of the Constitution, the committee on the creation of international criminal jurisdiction and the president of the committee of European Union experts in charge of directing a project on European criminal law (Corpus Juris). In May 2011, Professor Delmas-Marty was appointed as Special Adviser to the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
