On August 3, 2023<\/strong>, Chief Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani (ret.), a member of the HPU Law extended faculty, received the 2023 American Bar Association International Human Rights Award. This annual award recognizes exceptional achievements by individuals or organizations that champion and defend human rights outside the United States. Chief Justice Jillani received the award due to his leadership, dedication, courage, and perseverance in advancing human rights as the Chief Justice of Pakistan, where he penned some of the nation\u2019s most critical opinions on religious liberty, human rights, and the rule of law.<\/p>\n

Chief Justice Jillani was recognized at the ABA Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado. HPU Founding Dean and Professor of Law Mark Martin attended the ceremony to honor and celebrate the many accomplishments of his colleague and friend. Founding Dean Martin is pictured with Chief Justice Jillani and ABA President Deborah Enix-Ross, who joined in congratulating Chief Justice Jillani on the receipt of his award.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI have known Chief Justice Jillani for many years, and I can think of no one more deserving to receive this prestigious award,\u201d said Dean Martin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cChief Justice Jillani has been a tireless advocate for human rights and has acted with tremendous courage in protecting the rights of religious minorities in Pakistan. I was honored to attend the ceremony and celebrate my friend and HPU Law faculty colleague.\u201d<\/p>\n
