Professor Dire Tladi has made history as the first South African to be elected to serve in the UN’s top judicial body, the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Tladi was sworn in on Tuesday along with three other judges as members of the ICJ based in The Hague, Netherlands, and will serve a nine-year term in office.
Tladi, a leading international scholar whose accomplishments span various areas of legal expertise, was elected a member of the ICJ by the UN’s General Assembly and the Security Council in November last year after he was endorsed by the Cabinet. He is among three African judges who sit on the ICJ bench.
