Ugandan-born Judge Julia Sebutinde has been elected vice-president of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
The judge recently caused controversy when she ruled against emergency measures requested by South Africa against Israel over the war in Gaza.
She was the only judge on the 17-member ICJ panel to vote against all six measures adopted by the ICJ court in a ruling ordering Israel to take action to prevent acts of genocide.
The Ugandan government distanced itself from the judge’s dissenting opinion, saying it did not represent the country’s position in the conflict.
The court announced that Sebutinde had been elected vice-president for a three-year term, indicating a vote of confidence in her.
