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.
|

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_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

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.
