The President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), Faith Odhiambo, has extended her congratulations to Prof. Phoebe Okowa on her nomination to run for the position of Judge at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
In a statement, Odhiambo lauded Prof. Okowa’s exemplary record of service and excellence, emphasizing that she is Kenya’s best candidate to contest for the prestigious position.
"Hearty congratulations to Phoebe Okowa on her nomination to run for the office of Judge of the International Court of Justice. Her exemplary record of service and excellence is a guarantee that she is Kenya's best to contest for the position. We believe she is a worthy candidate and offer all our prayers and support as she seeks the mandate. All the best, Prof."
Prof. Okowa, a distinguished scholar and legal expert, has had an illustrious career in international law, making her a strong contender for the ICJ bench. Her nomination has been met with widespread support from the legal fraternity and government officials, who recognize her contributions to the legal field.
As Kenya backs her candidacy, many see this as an opportunity to further cement the country’s presence on the global judicial stage. The International Court of Justice, based in The Hague, Netherlands, is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, responsible for settling disputes between states and advising on international legal questions.
Prof. Okowa’s nomination marks a significant milestone for Kenya’s legal community, and her candidacy is expected to receive strong support both locally and internationally.
