SUDIJE IZABRALE NOVOG PREDSEDNIKA MKSJ-a

Sudija Patrik Robinson će ovog meseca naslediti predsednika Fausta Pokara.

Jamajčanski sudija Partik Robinson (Patrick Robinson) izabran je za sledećeg predsednika Međunarodnog krivičnog suda za bivšu Jugoslaviju (MKSJ) u Hagu.

Njega su 4. novembra, na vanrednom plenarnom zasedanju, izabrala desetorica stalnih sudija.

Robinson ima 64 godine, a u rad Tribunala uključio se 1998., nakon 16 godina provedenih na mestu predstavnika Jamajke u Generalnoj skupštini UN-a. On će naslediti aktuelnog predsednika, italijanskog sudiju Fausta Pokara (Fausto Pocar), koji je tu funkciju vršio od 2005. Pokar će – sve do planiranog zatvaranja Tribunala, odnosno do kraja 2010. – nastaviti da obavlja dužnost žalbenog sudije.

Na mesto potpredsednika je, takođe ove sedmice, izabran sudija O-Gon Kvon (O-Gon Kwon) iz Južne Koreje, koji će na tom položaju zameniti Kevina Parkera. Kvon je diplomirao na seulskom Nacionalnom Univerzitetu, ali i na Harvardu, gde je završio pravo. U Tribunalu je angažovan od 2001. godine.

Obojica sudija će na svoje nove dužnosti stupiti 17. novembra.
