Ahead of elections into the bench of the International Criminal Court scheduled for December, 2020, the African Bar Association has thrown its weight behind the candidacy of the Nigerian nominee, the Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory Justice Ishaq Bello, whom it described as “one of the most productive and respected judges in Nigeria.”
The association said “the AFBA is very disturbed about the misinterpretation of the report of the ICC Advisory Committee on the nomination of the Judges which saw notable African Judges highly qualified for the Election stage including Ishaq Bello of Nigeria, Raymond Sock of Gambia, Aisse Tall of Senegal, Proper Milanelou of Congo and Maria Samba of Sierra Leone.”
The association noted that “Justice Ishaq Bello one of the most productive and respected judges in Nigeria was adjudged formally qualified so was Justice Raymond Sock of Gambia, who is a Judge of the Gambian Supreme Court and former Acting Chief Justice of the Gambia”, adding that “both Candidates have met the formal requirements to become judges of the ICC and that is what is important and therefore they deserve our support not negative comments laced with political undertones.
