The UDP has expressed strong support for Mr. Tambadou in his pursuit of a judgeship at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Mr. Tambadou’s distinguished service as the Attorney General and Minister for Justice of The Gambia highlights his qualifications for this esteemed position. His tenure was pivotal for the nation, showcasing his legal expertise and commitment to the rule of law.
Throughout my time as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Vice President, I had the privilege to work closely with Mr. Tambadou. I can personally attest to his exceptional legal skills and unwavering dedication to justice. As The Gambia’s second longest-serving legal practitioner, I witnessed his early career where he passionately represented vulnerable individuals in human rights cases pro bono.
Mr. Tambadou’s commitment to justice was evident even earlier, as he worked for the United Nations Special Tribunal for Rwanda. In his role as Attorney General, he effectively drew international attention to the plight of the Rohingya people, further amplifying his advocacy for human rights.
Given these credentials, I am confident that Mr. Tambadou possesses the requisite experience and enthusiasm necessary to contribute to the International Court of Justice’s mission. It is with great pride that I commend The Gambia Government for nominating a distinguished legal expert with an exemplary track record of justice in Africa and beyond, and I extend my full support for his candidacy.
In summary, the UDP’s endorsement of Mr. Tambadou for the ICJ judgeship underscores his substantial qualifications and dedication to justice. His extensive experience, commitment to human rights, and previous governmental roles position him as a highly competent candidate to serve effectively on the International Court of Justice. The Gambia Government’s nomination is a testament to the nation’s commitment to legal excellence.
