UN General Assembly
2020

“Finally, later this year an important election will be held forjudges of the International Court of Justice, one of our Organization’s key organs. Uganda accepted the Court’s compulsory jurisdiction, without any reservations, as long ago as March 1963, when we were a new member of the United Nations family. We are proud that Judge Julia Sebutinde of Uganda, the first African woman on the Court and one who has served it with distinction, will be up for re-election for a second and final term. I commend Judge Julia Sebutinde to the General Assembly and request its support for her re-election to a second and final mandate on the International Court of Justice.”
