A special election for one judge of the International Criminal Court was held during the 12th session of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court which took place in The Hague from 20 to 28 November 2013.〔(Information on the election of a judge ). Assembly of States Parties. Retrieved 3 August 2013.〕 The election became necessary after one judge elected in the 2011 election was unavailable: Anthony Carmona had been elected President of Trinidad and Tobago and had resigned from the bench on 18 March 2013.〔 Geoffrey A. Henderson, also from Trinidad and Tobago, was elected in the first ballot after his only opponent had withdrawn.〔(2013 - Election of a judge - Result ). International Criminal Court. Retrieved 27 November 2013.〕 == Background == The judge elected at this election was chosen to complete the term, until 10 March 2021, of the judge he replaces. The election is 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, 2013」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
