In May, 2006, Imrana Jalal, APWLD member from Fiji, was appointed to the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ). Imrana is the Human Rights Adviser at the Pacific Regional Rights Resource Team (RRRT) and Board Member of the Fiji Women's Rights Movement. She also served as former Human Rights Commissioner for Fiji in 1999/2000. Imrana has been a member of APWLD since 1996 and made an invaluable contribution to development of APWLD's Feminist Legal Theory and Practice Training. The FLTP in its current form was first conducted by Imrana Jalal and Madhu Mehra in 1998 in Fiji.

"I'm overwhelmed, thrilled and honoured to be elected as a commissioner. The ICJ is highly regarded internationally, its commissioners are distinguished jurists in their own right, and what makes the ICJ special is its impartial, objective, and authoritative legal approach to the protection and promotion of human rights through the rule of law. I'm grateful to be given the opportunity to bring a fresh Pacific Island perspective to the commission." Imrana said .

The ICJ, an international human rights nongovernmental organisation, is a group of 60 eminent jurists (judges and lawyers) from around the world, including former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson, leading British lawyer Lord William Goodhart, Justice John Dowd of the New South Wales High Court, Botswana High Court Judge Unity Dow and South African Chief Justice Arthur Chaskalson (currently ICJ President).

The Commission is supported by an International Secretariat based in Geneva, Switzerland, and staffed by lawyers drawn from a wide range of jurisdictions and legal traditions. Current ICJ programmes address the independence of judges and lawyers, the human rights impact of counterterrorism legislation, the role of human rights in international corporate responsibility, and economic, social and cultural rights. The Commission also provides legal expertise at both the international and national levels to ensure that developments in international law adhere to human rights principles and that international standards are implemented at the national level.

Nasreen is the eldest among the children. At 10 years old, she is practically running the household
