Three new judges sworn in

Meanwhile, three new ICTR judges, Lloyd Williams from Jamaica, Dionysios Kondylis of Greece and Pavel Dolenc from Slovenia, were yesterday sworn in, bringing the total to nine. The UN General Assembly elected the new judges in November from among candidates put up by 18 countries. They will work in a third trial chamber established by a resolution of the UN Security Council last year to speed up the work of the tribunal.
