Another Great Legal Mind
Judge Karl Hudson-Phillips submitted his resignation to the International Criminal Court (ICC) on March 14, citing personal reasons. His resignation takes effect from September 30.
A release on the Web site of the ICC stated, “The President of the ICC, Judge Philippe Kirsch, thanked Judge Hudson-Phillips for his important contributions to establishing the judicial foundations of the Court.
“As ‘dean of the judges,’ Judge Hudson-Phillips had chaired the first meetings of judges before the election of the presidency.
“He also contributed actively to the drafting of the Regulations of the Court. President Kirsch expressed the ICC’s deep regret at his resignation and forthcoming departure from the Court.”
Hudson-Phillips has extensive private practice experience in his native Trinidad and Tobago and throughout the Commonwealth Caribbean countries. He had also previously served as Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs of T&T before his election
to the ICC. At the ICC,
Hudson-Phillips had been assigned to the Trial Division. Pending the beginning of the first trials, he was not serving on a full-time basis at the seat of the court.
In accordance with article 37 of the Rome Statute, the Assembly of States Parties will elect a judge to fill the vacancy left by Hudson-Phillips’ resignation.
