The 9th World Congress of the IAYFJM was held in
Oxford, England, from 15 - 20 July 1974. During the
opening ceremony the Association received as a gift
from its honorary President, Mrs Clare Spurgin
(England), a medallion to be worn as the presidential
badge of office. The emblem depicts the famous Ivory
Hand, now in the Louvre Museum in Paris, which was
held as a sceptre by the Kings of France in the XII
century to symbolise their judicial power. Two fingers
are raised as a sign of benediction and mercy, and two
are lowered as a sign of justice; the whole hand
indicates that every accused person enjoys the
protection of a judge. |
