IBAHRI mourns past Co-Chair Sternford Moyo

Sunday 21 July 2024

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It was with great sadness that the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) heard of the death of Sternford Moyo, a wonderful past Co-Chair of ours.

Sternford was a great son of Zimbabwe and a proud African, a democrat with a deep commitment to the rule of law and a champion of its role in democracy. He was never slow in his criticism of government erosions of civil rights and liberty. Sternford was for six years a Chair of the IBA's Human Rights Institute Council and remained on the Council thereafter. He was a constant support, and his wise counsel was invaluable to the Director and the legal team. Sternford was a giant amongst men who became an outstanding President of the IBA and a global leader of the law.

He is sorely missed, and we send out deep condolences to his widow, his family, and his friends.

Yours faithfully,
