Ukweli ni kuwa ajenda ya zamu ya kinamama ilikuwa inapata sauti kubwa na isingelikuwa busara kwa Tanzania ambayo ni moja ya nchi kinara katika kutekeleza ajenda hiyo kuonekana kama kizibo cha mafanikio hayo kwa kina mama wa Afrika.

huku ni kujitetea tu! Mmeshindwa basi,rudini mjirekebishe.

Mkuu, issue yenyewe ya kawaida lakini unatokwa na povu kwelikweli....ya nini?!! hata kama hutaki, jamaa alichoongea ndicho kilichotokea. Binafsi, inawezekana kizungu sikielewi vizuri lakini katika Statement aliyoitoa President of the Assembly (ICC) ndicho alichokisema omarilyas....Moja ya sentensi kwenye hiyo statement inasema ".........Based on theinput I have received as a result of these consultations, I am now in a position to suggest to the States Parties to agree informally that only one candidate will be nominated for the position of Prosecutor, which will facilitate the election of the Prosecutor by consensus, as asked for in resolution ICCASP/ 3/Res.6. The person thus nominated would be Ms. Fatou Bensouda from The Gambia."

Aidha, kuna paragraph kwenye hiyo statement anasema "..............There was also criticism of the gender dimension of the process, both as far as composition of the Search Committee and of the shortlist. You may know that two of the alternate members of the Search Committee were women and, perhaps more importantly, that the members of the Committee were chosen by the respective regional groups. I hope very much that those with strong feelings on gender balance in the composition of such Committees will make t heir views known at a moment where they can actually make a difference. Something quite similar can be said about the number of women on the shortlist. Those who have expressed disappointment that only one out of four persons shortlisted was a woman had for several months the opportunity to suggest the names of qualified women –without, however, making use of it. I certainly hope that the informal agreement on the election of the next Prosecutor will help put to rest any concerns in this regard. But again, a lesson should be that the Search Committee takes into account gender balance."

Sasa unachopinga wewe nini hapo?!

Gender was not an issue at the final race as there were only two people (africans) remaining in the race: 1 female and 1 male (gender balanced).The female won the race on merit, period................

Wewe una nini huko kichwani hata kuita wenzako hawana kitu? Hata jina umeogopa kuandika unajiita PhD! Loh nyinyi kwa kudharau wenzenu wakati hata nje ya JF hamutambulikani!

 

[bitimkongwe]

Labda lugha ndio ngumu mkuu....maana ni kweli kwenye hiyo taarifa unayoyasema ndio ukweli....

"Bensouda had been in competition with Mohamed Chande Othman, chief justice of Tanzania after candidates from Britain and Canada withdrew from the final group of four". ".

Siyo kwamba munaoelewa kiingereza ni nyinyi tu lakini kuna uwezekano ilipotoka hiyo article yenu munayoisema baadae kulitokea maendeleo mengine ambayo yameripotiwa kwenye vyombo vya habari. Sasa munabisha nini?

Too much know.

Gambian lawyer Fatou Bensouda is the new International Criminal Court prosecutor.She is to take on the key role at the ICC from mid next year when Mr Luis Moreno-Ocampo officially retires from office.
ICC State Parties on Monday agreed by consensus at an annual meeting that brought together 120 countries, to have the lawyer who has more than 20 years prosecution experience, replace Ocampo for a one nine-year term.
Bensouda who has set the record by being the first African and woman to serve as the ICC prosecutor, remained the only one in a race that was contested by 52 candidates.
She remained when no member from the 120 countries nominated a candidate to challenge her by December 9, following Tanzania Chief Justice Mohamed Chande Othman’s withdrawal of his candidacy after it became clear that African nations were in support of the Gambia’s former Justice Minister.

On Monday, UK Foreign Office Minister Henry Bellingham said Bensouda demonstrated to State Parties that she has the experience and skills required to take forward the ground-breaking work Ocampo has achieved during his tenure.
"I am delighted that the State Parties of the ICC have agreed by consensus that Ms Fatou Bensouda should be appointed the nest prosecutor of the ICC," Bellingham said in a statement.
He said the UK supported Besouda for the position at the assemblies meeting being held in New York, USA, and her election by consensus is a clear demonstration that, although her role is fully independent, she will have full support of all State Parties when she takes office next July.
Kenya
If charges against Kenya’s Eldoret North MP William Ruto, Tinderet MP Henry Kosgey, radio presenter Joshua Sang, Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, Head of Public Service Francis Muthaura and Postmaster General Hussein Ali are confirmed, it is the new prosecutor who will continue with the cases from July next year when Ocampo officially leaves office.
Her new role may also see the International Court intensify its search for Rwandan fugitive Felicen Kabuga who Kenyan authorities have since denied to be hiding in the country.

Bensouda handled the case on Kabuga’s indictment where he is charged with conspiracy to commit genocide.
Kabuga who is still wanted by court sitting in Arusha, Tanzania, was accused along with former Defence Minister Augustin Bizimana and Major Protais Mpiranya, ex-commandant of late President JuvÈnal Habyarimana's Guard.

Other cases she is to continue with at the Office of The Prosecutor (OTP) include the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Uganda, Cote "Ivoire and Central African Republic.
Former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo was recently arrested and flown to The Hague to answer to charges of crimes against humanity committed following last year’s elections.
Bensouda will continue with preliminary examinations in situations in Afghanistan, Georgia, Guines, Palestine, Colombia, Honduras, Korea and Nigeria.
She was recommended for the post at an informal meeting of member nations by Liechtenstein’s UN Ambassador Christian Wenaweser, who headed the prosecutor’s selection committee.
