联合国选出四名国际法院法官：任期九年 第五席续轮投票未定
联合国大会与安全理事会11月3日在纽约举行国际法院（ICJ）法官选举。英国的 Dapo Akande、法国的 François Alabrune、约旦的 Mahmoud Daifallah Hmoud 与新加坡的 Rena Lee 在首轮投票中同时获得大会与安理会的绝对多数票，当选法官，任期九年，自2027年2月6日起。第五个席位尚无人同时在两个机构达标，已进入续轮投票。
英国政府同日发布公告确认 Akande 当选。Akande 是牛津大学国际公法教授、万灵学院院士，也是联合国国际法委员会当选委员；他在尼日利亚取得律师资格，从业与治学近三十年，曾在国际法院等国际法庭担任代理律师、顾问与专家。英国自2018年以来在国际法院一直没有本国法官，他的当选使英国时隔近十年重返法官席。Akande 在公告中说：「我深感荣幸当选国际法院法官。」他感谢支持他的国家，并表示将独立裁决、公正适用法律。
新加坡的 Rena Lee 现年57岁，是新加坡首位当选国际法院法官的人。她任新加坡国际法大使，曾主持联合国《海洋生物多样性协定》（BBNJ）政府间会议并推动协定以协商一致方式通过。
法国的 Alabrune 现任法国驻荷兰大使，曾任法国外交部法律顾问，在国际法院等多个国际法庭代表法国出庭；约旦的 Hmoud 是现任法官，本轮成功连任，他本届任期原定于2027年2月5日届满。
第五席的争夺仍在继续。现任法官、肯尼亚的 Phoebe Okowa 在第二轮投票中获得大会87票、安理会4票，未达到标；塞拉利昂已撤回本国候选人 Charles Chernor Jalloh，转而支持 Okowa。大会与安理会正举行第三轮投票决定最后一个席位。
国际法院是联合国主要司法机关，设于荷兰海牙和平宫，由15名法官组成，每三年改选五名。当选者须同时获得193个成员国组成的大会至少97票与15个成员国组成的安理会至少8票。本轮任期于2027年2月5日届满的五名法官是法国的 Ronny Abraham、印度的 Dalveer Bhandari、巴西的 Leonardo Nemer Caldeira Brant、约旦的 Hmoud 与肯尼亚的 Okowa。

Four Judges Elected to the International Court of Justice: Fifth Seat Heads to Further Ballots
The UN General Assembly and Security Council voted in New York on November 3 to elect judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Dapo Akande of the United Kingdom, François Alabrune of France, Mahmoud Daifallah Hmoud of Jordan and Rena Lee of Singapore obtained absolute majorities in both organs in the first ballot and were elected for nine-year terms beginning February 6, 2027. No candidate has yet secured both majorities for the fifth seat, which has gone to further ballots.
The UK government confirmed Akande's election in an announcement the same day. Akande is Professor of Public International Law at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of All Souls College, and an elected member of the UN International Law Commission. He qualified as a lawyer in Nigeria and has nearly three decades of experience as a scholar and practising lawyer, acting as counsel, adviser and expert in cases before international courts and tribunals including the ICJ. His election restores UK representation on the Court after an absence of almost a decade, the UK having had no judge on the bench since 2018. "I am deeply honoured to be elected to the International Court of Justice," Akande said in the announcement, thanking the states that backed him and pledging to decide cases independently and apply the law impartially.
Rena Lee, 57, is the first Singaporean elected to the Court. Singapore's Ambassador for International Law, she presided over the UN intergovernmental conference that adopted the BBNJ Agreement on marine biodiversity by consensus.
Alabrune is France's ambassador to the Netherlands and a former legal adviser to the French foreign ministry who has represented France before the ICJ and other international tribunals. Hmoud of Jordan is a sitting judge who won re-election; his current term was due to expire on February 5, 2027.
The contest for the fifth seat continues. Sitting judge Phoebe Okowa of Kenya received 87 votes in the General Assembly and four in the Security Council in the second ballot, short of the required majorities. Sierra Leone has withdrawn its candidate, Charles Chernor Jalloh, and thrown its support behind Okowa, and the two organs are holding a third round of voting for the remaining vacancy.
The ICJ is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, seated at the Peace Palace in The Hague, and is composed of 15 judges, five of whom are elected every three years. Election requires an absolute majority in both the 193-member General Assembly (at least 97 votes) and the 15-member Security Council (at least eight votes). The five judges whose terms expire on February 5, 2027 are Ronny Abraham of France, Dalveer Bhandari of India, Leonardo Nemer Caldeira Brant of Brazil, Hmoud of Jordan and Okowa of Kenya.
