One of three new judges sworn in at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) last month has resigned due to “unforeseen family and personal reasons”, according to a Tribunal press release. The independent news agency Hirondelle quoted informed sources as saying Judge Dionysios Kondylis of Greece was working on an international arbitration case prior to standing as a candidate for the ICTR. That case was not completed. Upon arrival at the ICTR, he sought permission from the UN to combine his tribunal work with the international arbitration, involving one week per month away from the ICTR.
