  The only female member of the Supreme Court of National Justice, Carmen Argibay, pronounced herself against systematic preventive imprisonment for defendants that have not been proven guilty. She pointed out that it is "an abuse and it is against the principle of innocence consecrated in the National Constitution and the human rights of the prisoners". On the other hand, she reiterated her posture in favor of the de-penalization of abortion, so that it may be contemplated in cases of women that want it "for some reason that seems sufficiently serious". In this sense she criticized strongly the postures that do not take in consideration the freedom that women must enjoy. She added that society does not take charge of the babies that are born. "I am not against life, but if there is a woman that wants to have an abortion for some reason that seems sufficiently serious, she has to be able to have it under conditions of safety without risking her life", she concluded.

  Argentina's Carmen Argibay, 'ad litem' judge of the International Criminal Court for the Former Yugoslavia, says it should come as no surprise that many cases dealing with delicate issues are in the hands of women.
  
  "Around a decade ago in Costa Rica a study was conducted of the judiciaries of Central America, and one of the conclusions was that women are less inclined to corruption," she said in an IPS interview via telephone from The Hague.
  
  Argibay was referring to research compiled by Tirsa Rivera Bustamante and published in 1991 by the Centre for the Administration of Justice.
  ...
  "Having been victims of discrimination," said Argibay, women "know that the issues which many of their male colleague consider marginal -- discrimination, domestic violence, corruption -- are in reality central and important."
  
  "But that doesn't mean there are no corrupt female judges or prosecutors.They do exist, but in a much smaller proportion (than among their male colleagues)," she added.
  
  And Argibay knows of what she speaks.She worked in the Argentine justice system when it was subject to the will of the different military regimes during decades past, and hit by a wave of unprecedented government corruption in the 1990s.
  
  She was a judiciary employee until the beginning of the last dictatorship (1976-1984), was imprisoned by the military regime for nine months, and then "sought refuge" in a private law practice.
  
  Argibay returned to the public sphere in 1983, founding the Argentine Association of Women Judges, and served as the president of the International Association of Women Judges.
  
  Male and female judges alike are subjected to the same types of pressures, agreed the women interviewed for this report.
  
  According to Argibay, "pressure, threats or persecution are part of daily life in nearly all judicial systems.
  ...
  And because the male reaction tends to be more violent, this places men at a disadvantage for confronting them," ventured Argibay.
