Kenyan Judge Joins ICJ
Kenyan judge Phoebe Okowa was elected to the International Court of Justice for a term running from February 6, 2027, to February 5, 2036, after receiving 183 votes in the General Assembly and 13 of the 15 votes in the Security Council. The African Union welcomed her election as support for African representation and a boost to African women’s participation in international justice, while stressing that Okowa is an independent judge, not a representative of Kenya. The Court has 24 contentious cases pending, including South Africa’s case against Israel, and has scheduled a ruling for the 19th of this month in The Gambia’s case against Myanmar concerning the Rohingya.
