#Croatia placing emphasis on gender balance and & #39;fair rotation& #39; (in addition to the Statute-mandated expertise) in its campaign to have Prof Seršić elected to the #ICJ in the autumn. https://twitter.com/AndrejaMetelko/status/1273642067441451009">https://twitter.com/AndrejaMe...

With the fate of Judge Sebutinde& #39;s place on the Court unclear in light of the controversy over the African Group candidate (p. 112 on PDF here: https://au.int/sites/default/files/decisions/38180-assembly_au_dec_749-795_xxxiii_e.pdf),">https://au.int/sites/def... there is a chance the number of women on the #ICJ could fall to 2. Either way, 3 is not impressive either.

& #39;Fair rotation& #39; may be a sign that Judge Tomka will be a candidate for the Eastern European Group & #39;seat& #39;, and for a third term on the #ICJ. Candidacies for third terms are exceptional, but are hardly unprecedented.

While there has never been a Croatian member of the #ICJ, the only Yugoslavian member, Judge Zoričić, was from Croatia. However he was judge during the years 1946-1958. (There were two Yugoslavian deputy-judges on the #PCIJ, but from what I can tell, neither were Croatian.)
