Summary
On 15 December 2017, the distinguished Korean judge, O-Gon Kwon, began his three-year term as President of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). In addition to outstanding service as a judge in his home country, the Republic of Korea, Judge Kwon was a permanent judge at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for almost fifteen years. Judge Kwon served as the Vice-President of the ICTY (2008 to 2011), as a member of the Referral Bench, and also tried some of the tribunal’s most complex and challenging cases. He presided over the trial of the former Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadžić, and sat as a judge on the trial of the former President of the Republic of Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milošević. Judge Kwon also adjudicated the case of seven Bosnian Serbs in Popović et al, all accused of crimes associated with the fall of the Srebrenica enclave in July 1995.
