The Florida State University College of Law will host Mary Robinson — Ireland’s first female president, renowned climate justice advocate and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights — as the 2025 speaker for the D’Alemberte & Palmer Lecture in International Human Rights.

Robinson will speak on “The Rule of Law in International Human Rights” at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, at FSU Law in Auditorium 101. The event is free and open to the public.

“We are honored to welcome President Robinson to FSU Law,” said Erin O’Hara O’Connor, dean of the FSU College of Law. “I hope our students and the community will tune in to learn from her vast experience in the critical areas of human rights and climate control. We are grateful to Patsy Palmer for making this transformative series possible, which will allow us to bring international speakers to the College of Law to advance the cause of international human rights.”
