Headline General Assembly Meets to Elect Members of International Court of Justice

Caption Description Peter Mohan Maithri Pieris (left), Vice-President of the 78th session of the General Assembly and Permanent Representative of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka to the United Nations, chairs the General Assembly meeting that held an election of five members of International Court of Justice (ICJ). At right is Movses Abelian, Under-Secretary-General for General Assembly and Conference Management.

The following five judges are elected (by secret ballot) to the ICJ for a term of office of nine years, beginning on 6 February, 2024: Bogdan-Lucian Aurescu (Romania) Hilary Charlesworth (Australia) Sarah Hull Cleveland (US) Juan Manuel Gómez Robledo Verduzco (Mexico) Dire Tladi (South Africa).

International Court of Justice judges are elected through parallel procedures at the General Assembly and the Security Council, independently of one another. To be elected, a candidate must obtain an absolute majority of votes both in the General Assembly and in the Security Council. In the Security Council, eight votes out of fifteen constitute an absolute majority. In the General Assembly 97 votes out of 193 constitute an absolute majority.
