The presentation was led by Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Gambians Abroad, Ambassador Lang Yabou, who highlighted Justice Wright’s extensive experience and expertise in international criminal law, and the integrity and competence she brings to the role. Justice Wright is contesting under List A.
In her address, Justice Wright shared her vision for a stronger, more effective, and independent ICC, one that delivers justice for victims of the most serious international crimes while assuring a fair trial for those accused before it.
The Committee has since reported to the AU Executive Council, noting all eight African candidates presented for the ICC judicial elections.
Justice Wright’s campaign continues as she engages with States Parties to the Rome Statute in the lead-up to December’s elections.
The Gambia look forward to the support of ICC Member States for the success of her candidacy.
