ICJ
Miriam painfully lost her bid to me member of the ICJ. I suggest that this be added in the article|: As of November 6, 2008, the composition of the Court is as follows:
Re-elected were France's Ronny Abraham and Awn Shawkat Al-Khasawneh (terms expire on 5 February 2009|), while UK's Christopher Greenwood, Brazil’s Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade and Somalia's Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf  (terms begin on 6 February 2009) were newly elected. The declared candidates Sayeman Bula-Bula (Democratic Republic of the Congo), Miriam Defensor-Santiago (Philippines) and Maurice Kamto (Cameroon) lost in the final voting. The 3 new judges replaced UK's Rosalyn Higgins (as ICJ President), Gonzalo Parra-Aranguren of Venezuela and Madagascar’s Raymond Ranjeva (terms all expire on 5 February 2009).www.un.org,Five judges elected to serve on UN International Court of Justicetaiwannews.com, World's top court among nations gets new judges
