FIRST AFRICAN WOMAN SWORN IN AS JUDGE OF UN COURT

Posted by James Ogunjimi on March 13, 2012
Posted in: News.

Julia Sebutinde from Uganda officially started her term as a Judge at International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague on Monday, becoming the first African woman to sit on the UN Court.

According to an ICJ press release, “her career objective is to contribute to world peace through the adjudication and settlement of legal disputes at national, regional and international levels.”
Ms. Sebutinde, 58, has worked for 32 years in the legal and judicial field.

Before joining the ICJ, she conducted judicial inquiries into high-profile corruption cases in Uganda and was a Judge prosecuting the former Liberian president Charles Taylor at a special court in Sierra Leone.

With Sebutinde, three female Judges currently sit on the UN court bench, the other two being Judge Xue Hanqing from China and Judge Joan Donoghue from the U.S.
Both were elected in 2010.

      There are days when you are rendered speechless by some actions. How do you describe the refusal of some people to join us in the 21st century? How do you explain to people that a group of mad people that share the name “Nigerians” with you felt offended by someone’s preaching and their only solution […]

It is one of those things that gets accepted due to constant repetition and nobody bothers to check the truth of it again. BUHARI IS NOT BETTER THAN JONATHAN. Yes, you heard me right. Let us analyse. The two main reasons why Buhari […]

Such people, tired of keeping their doctrines and ideologies within their religious houses, are trying to bring the ‘let the weak say I am strong’ ideology into our politics and indeed into our everyday life. They want us […]
