A Nigerian jurist at the International Criminal Court (ICC) has been elected president of the war crimes tribunal.
Chile Eboe-Osuji, who became the first Nigerian to be elevated to the court in 2012, would serve as ICC president for the next three years.
The announcement was contained in a statement posted on ICC website on Sunday.
See the full statement below:
“Today, 11 March 2018, the judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC), sitting in a plenary session, elected Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji (Nigeria) as President of the Court for a three-year term with immediate effect. Judge Robert Fremr(Czech Republic) was elected First Vice-President and Judge Marc Perrin de Brichambaut (France) Second Vice-President.”
The new appointee was also quoted in the statement.
“I am deeply honoured to have been elected by my peers as President of the International Criminal Court. As I take up my duties, I feel encouraged that I am able to rely on the wide experience of the two Vice-Presidents, Judge Robert Fremr and Judge Marc Perrin de Brichambaut, both of whom I have closely worked with previously.
“I look forward to working together with them as well as with all the judges, all the Officials and the staff of the Court in a spirit of collegiality. I also look forward to collaborating with the Assembly of States Parties, civil society and the international community at large, acting together to strengthen and reinforce the Rome Statute system, the 20th anniversary of the adoption of which we celebrate this year”, President Chile Eboe-Osuji stated following the election.
“I am also grateful to the previous President, Judge Silvia Fernández de Gurmendi, and Vice-Presidents, Judges Joyce Aluoch and Kuniko Ozaki, for their work and leadership,” he added.
The Presidency – consisting of the President and the two Vice-Presidents – plays a key role in providing strategic leadership to the ICC as a whole.

embarrass who what now?
well there is only one thing yorubas top ndigbo at....
see below

Throwback:



I like how I shut you up, so you can change the topic to fables that Igbo fathers tell their adult kids, as a means of closure from the horrors of the civil war, so they can sleep well at night.

Continue to catch-up, we Yorubas might just begin to regard you as worthwhile.

Throwback:
We welcome the Igbos for catching up with the Yorubas again.

Google Taslim Olawale Elias (first African to be president of the World Court/International Court of Justice as far back as 1982), then you can stop gloating after you realise that catch-up is your eternal destiny.

If you do not know, the World Court is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations.

While I celebrate with the Igbos on their lesser achievement with the ICC, I will felicitate with them when they finally attain by catch-up, the superior merit that the Yorubas attained in 1982.

Onyema was vice-president, and Elias was also vice-president after him. However, Taslim Elias became the first African PRESIDENT of the World Court.

Or is it Vice Presidency you are celebrating with this ICC appointment of this Igbo Nigerian?

Nigeria government is in a very big mess, they don't know the international political games that IPOB is playing, very soon the result will start to manifest, don't get it confused the man that was just appointed is not a Nigeria rather a Biafran. Don't get it twisted, the courts casein USA between brutai and the other five eastern governors for human rights abuses is gradually moving to international court and the man that will nail brutai and jubri of Sudan imposing as Buhari the Nigeria president for massive human rights abuses has taken the center stage and the plans of IPOB is about to be completed. Thumbs up for IPOB for a well calculated international political game played, you are gradually positioning those men who will do justice for Biafra at the international center stage. IPOB knowledge and strategies is equal to non, no wonder IPOB and NNAMDI KANU insisted that they must remain non violent even in the faces of brutality even when they brag that they have billions of dynamite in their arsenals. It is now that Nigeria government will know that knowledge and wisdom is more profitable than brutal force and un warrant intimidation.

Up Nigeria. Igbo Amaka.

Congrats nwa Igbo Osuji.

This is a big blow against genocide in Africa.

LaudableXX:


Was it IPOB that nominated him for the post, or got him appointed into the ICC, in the first place?

if you really have internal and international insight to the paragraph you boarded, you will clearly understood what I mean by saying IPOB played smart international politics. I am not in the position to tell you how he became the president, but one thing I can assure you is that most Nigeria leaders are in big mess as the days, months and years rolls by. Neither did I say that it was IPOB that nominated him, but something Is happening in international politics concerning Biafra and IPOB that you may not understand for now but as time goes on, you will understand better.
