The eighteen judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC) are elected for nine-year terms by the
138_1
member-countries of the court. Candidates must be nationals of those countries and they must
138_2
"possess the qualifications required in their respective States for appointment to the highest
138_3
judicial offices".
138_4
A judge may be qualified for "any case in which his or her impartiality might reasonably be doubted
138_5
on any ground", and a judge may be removed from office if he or she "is found to have committed
138_6
serious misconduct or a serious breach of his or her duties" or is unable to exercise his or her
138_7
functions.
138_8
The judges are organized into three divisions: the Pre-Trial Division, Trial Division, and Appeals
138_9
Division.
138_10
Qualifications, election and terms
138_11
Judges are elected to the ICC by the Assembly of States Parties, the court's governing body. They
138_12
serve nine-year terms and are not generally eligible for re-election.
138_13
By the time of their election, all judges must be nationals of states parties to the Rome Statute,
138_14
and no two judges may be nationals of the same state. They must be "persons of high moral
138_15
character, impartiality and integrity who possess the qualifications required in their respective
138_16
States for appointment to the highest judicial offices", and they must "have an excellent knowledge
138_17
of and be fluent in at least one of the working languages of the Court" (English and French).
138_18
Judges are elected from two lists of candidates. List A comprises candidates who have "established
138_19
competence in criminal law and procedure, and the necessary relevant experience, whether as judge,
138_20
prosecutor, advocate or in other similar capacity, in criminal proceedings". List B comprises
138_21
candidates who have "established competence in relevant areas of international law such as
138_22
international humanitarian law and the law of human rights, and extensive experience in a
138_23
professional legal capacity which is of relevance to the judicial work of the Court". Elections are
138_24
organised so that there are always at least nine serving judges from List A and at least five from
138_25
List B.
138_26
The Assembly of States Parties is required to "take into account the need for the representation of
138_27
the principal legal systems of the world, equitable geographical representation and a fair
138_28
representation of female and male judges. They shall take into account the need to include judges
138_29
with legal expertise on specific issues, including, but not limited to, violence against women and
138_30
children." Thus, there are voting requirements established which require at least six judges to be
138_31
female and at least six to be male. Additionally, each regional group of the United Nations has at
138_32
least two judges. If a regional group has more than sixteen states parties this leads to a minimum
138_33
voting requirement of three judges from this regional group. Therefore, from the Statute's entry
138_34
into force for the Maldives on 1 December 2011, all regional groups can claim a third judge.
138_35
Elections The following elections have taken place:
138_36
In February 2003, the Assembly of States Parties elected the first bench of eighteen judges from a
138_37
total of 43 candidates. After this first election, the President of the Assembly of States Parties
138_38
drew lots to assign the eighteen judges to terms of three, six or nine years; those who served for
138_39
three years were eligible for re-election in 2006. The first bench of judges was sworn in at the
138_40
inaugural session of the court on 11 March 2003.
138_41
The second election was held on 26 January 2006. Five of the six outgoing judges were re-elected,
138_42
but Judge Tuiloma Neroni Slade was defeated. He was succeeded by Ekaterina Trendafilova.
138_43
The first special election took place on 3 December 2007, to replace three judges who had
138_44
resigned. The three new judges were assigned to serve the remaining portions of their predecessors'
138_45
terms. Pursuant to a drawing of lots, Fumiko Saiga served the remainder of Claude Jorda's term,
138_46
which expired on 10 March 2009. The other two new judges' terms ended on 10 March 2012.
138_47
The third ordinary election took place on 19–20 January 2009. Twenty-one individuals were

re-election; she ran and was elected.

until 2018.

138_59
Disqualification and removal from office
138_60
The prosecutor or any person being investigated or prosecuted may request the disqualification of a
138_61
judge from "any case in which his or her impartiality might reasonably be doubted on any ground".
138_62
Any request for the disqualification of a judge from a particular case is decided by an absolute
138_63
majority of the other judges.
138_64
A judge may be removed from office if he or she "is found to have committed serious misconduct or a
138_65
serious breach of his or her duties" or is unable to exercise his or her functions. The removal of
138_66
a judge requires both a two-thirds majority of the other judges and a two-thirds majority of the
138_67
states parties.
138_68
Presidency
138_69
The Presidency is the organ responsible for the proper administration of the court, except for the
138_70
Office of the Prosecutor. The Presidency oversees the activities of the Registry and organises the
138_71
work of the judicial divisions. It also has some responsibilities in the area of external
138_72
relations, such as negotiating agreements on behalf of the court and the promoting public awareness
138_73
and understanding of the institution.
138_74
The Presidency comprises the President and the First and Second Vice-Presidents – three judges of
138_75
the court who are elected to the Presidency by their fellow judges for a maximum of two three-year
138_76
terms. The firsts President of the ICC were Philippe Kirsch, who served from 2003 to 2009,
138_77

138_81

138_82
The eighteen judges are organized into three divisions: the Pre-Trial Division, Trial Division and
138_83
Appeals Division. The Pre-Trial Division (which comprises the Second Vice President and five other
138_84
judges) confirms indictments and issues international arrest warrants. The Trial Division (the
138_85
