A special election for three judges of the International Criminal Court was held during the 6th session of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in New York on 30 November and 3 December 2007. The election was to replace three judges who had resigned during 2006 and 2007. == Background == The judges elected at this election took office on the date of their elections. Two were to remain in office until 10 March 2012, one judge (to be chosen by drawing of lots) until 10 March 2009. The election was governed by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Its article 36(8)(a) states that "()he States Parties shall, in the selection of judges, take into account the need, within the membership of the Court, for: * (i) The representation of the principal legal systems of the world; * (ii) Equitable geographical representation; and * (iii) A fair representation of female and male judges." Furthermore, article 36(3)(b) and 36(5) provide for two lists: * List A contains those judges that "()ave established competence in criminal law and procedure, and the necessary relevant experience, whether as judge, prosecutor, advocate or in other similar capacity, in criminal proceedings"; * List B contains those who "()ave established competence in relevant areas of international law such as international humanitarian law and the law of human rights, and extensive experience in a professional legal capacity which is of relevance to the judicial work of the Court". Each candidate must belong to exactly one list. Further rules of election were adopted by a resolution of the Assembly of States Parties in 2004. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Criminal Court judges election, 2007」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
