Six judges of the International Criminal Court will be elected during the 13th session of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court scheduled for 8 to 17 December 2014 in New York. The judges will be elected for terms of nine years and take office on 11 March 2015. == Background == The judges elected at this session will replace those six judges which were elected at the second election of ICC judges in 2006 for a full term of nine years; they will also serve for nine years until 2024. The election will be 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 has to 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, 2014」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
