Professor Kate O’Regan is the inaugural Director of the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights in the Faculty of Law at the University of Oxford. Previously she served as one of the first judges of the Constitutional Court of South Africa (from 1994 – 2009) and as an ad hoc judge of the Supreme Court of Namibia (from 2010 – 2016). She has served (and continues to serve) as a judge on several international tribunals and on the boards of NGOs working in the fields of democracy, the rule of law, human rights and equality. Since November 2020, she has been one of the first members of the Oversight Board Trust, an independent trust established to administer and support the independent Oversight Board, a body empowered to review, and if appropriate, overturn some of Facebook’s content decisions.
