NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 29 – Kenya has made its final diplomatic appeal to United Nations member states to support Professor Phoebe Okowa’s candidature for a judgeship at the International Court of Justice.
Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’Oei says the campaign, which involved months of intensive diplomatic engagement, concluded with a reception in New York.
Sing’Oei said Kenya’s appeal focused on the need for a court whose composition reflects key principles and whose judges possess the qualities necessary to interpret and apply international law at a critical moment in global affairs.
