Her victory over three other candidates reflects international confidence in her judicial competence and Kenya\u2019s respected standing on the global stage,\u201d the ministry said in a statement following the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nomination-in-february\">Nomination in February <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenya nominated Professor Okowa for election as an ICJ judge on February 27, 2025, through its Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nomination was registered with the Permanent Court of Arbitration and circulated to the UN Mission of Djibouti, which coordinates Eastern Africa\u2019s representation at the UN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September, Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing\u2019Oei led diplomatic efforts to rally support for her candidacy, including an appeal to Japan\u2019s Ambassador to Kenya, Matsuura Hiroshi, seeking Tokyo\u2019s backing for Okowa\u2019s bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born on January 1, 1965, in Kericho, Professor Okowa is an accomplished scholar and practitioner of public international law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She currently serves as Professor of Public International Law and Director of Graduate Studies at Queen Mary University of London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her election to the ICJ builds on an impressive record of international service. In 2021, she made history as the first African woman to be elected to the International Law Commission (ILC) after garnering 162 votes during elections held by the UN General Assembly in New York. Her tenure in the Commission runs from 2023 to 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Okowa\u2019s election to the ICJ marks yet another milestone for Kenya\u2019s legal diplomacy, positioning the country among the few African states represented on the world\u2019s top judicial organ, which settles disputes between nations and provides advisory opinions on matters of international law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs congratulated Professor Okowa, saying her victory after four rounds of voting by both the UN
