A special election for two judges of the International Criminal Court was held during the 8th session of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in The Hague on 18 November 2009. The election had become necessary after two judges elected in the January election were unavailable: Mohamed Shahabuddeen of Guyana had resigned before taking office〔(Resignation of Mr. Mohamed Shahabuddeen ). ICC. 18 February 2009. Retrieved 11 December 2011.〕 while Fumika Saiga of Japan had died on 24 April 2009.〔(Passing of Judge Fumiko Saiga ). ICC. 24 April 2009. Retrieved 11 December 2011.〕 == Background == The judges elected at this election were chosen to complete the terms, until 10 March 2018, of the judges they replaced. 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, November 2009」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
