ALEXIS-WINDSOR, Althea Violet (Trinidad and Tobago) [Original: English] Note verbale The Permanent Mission of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to the United Nations presents its compliments to the Secretariat of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and has the honour to refer to the latter’s note verbale no: ICC-ASP/19/SP/01 of December 20, 2019 regarding the election of judges to the International Criminal Court for the period 2021-2030. The Permanent Mission has the further honour to advise that the Government of Trinidad and Tobago has nominated Justice Althea Alexis-Windsor, Judge of the Supreme Court of Trinidad and Tobago, to fill one of the vacancies on the International Criminal Court, during elections scheduled to take place at the nineteenth session of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the ICC, at United Nations Headquarters, New York, from 7 to 17 December 2020. The Permanent Mission wishes to inform that the nomination is submitted in accordance with the provisions of article 36, paragraph 3 (b), of the Rome Statute which provides that every candidate for election to the Court shall: “have established competence in criminal law and procedure, and the necessary relevant experience whether as judge, prosecutor, advocate or in other similar capacity, in criminal proceedings.” The Government of Trinidad and Tobago attaches tremendous importance to the candidature of Justice Alexis-Windsor for election as a judge of the Court, in keeping with Trinidad and Tobago’s longstanding support for this tribunal, which predates the adoption and entry into force of the Rome Statute. The Government of Trinidad and Tobago is of the view that the Court should be composed of judges who adequately meet all of the criteria laid down in the Rome Statute. The Government of Trinidad and Tobago is therefore strongly convinced that Justice Alexis- Windsor is a person of high moral character, impartiality and integrity and who possesses the qualifications for appointment to the highest judicial offices in Trinidad and Tobago. It is also satisfied that if elected, Justice Alexis-Windsor would make an invaluable contribution to the Court, given her knowledge and wealth of experience in the field of criminal law and procedure, both at the national and international levels. The statement of qualifications and the curriculum vitae of Justice Alexis-Windsor are attached to this note verbale. The Permanent Mission requests the Secretariat of the Assembly of States Parties to bring this matter to the attention of States Parties to the Rome Statute to the International Criminal Court. Statement of qualifications This statement submitted in accordance with the provisions of article 36, paragraph 4 (a) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and paragraph 6 of resolution of the Assembly of States Parties on the procedure for the nomination and election of judges of the Court (ICC-ASP/3/Res.6, as amended). Justice Althea Alexis-Windsor is the candidate of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago for election as a judge of the International Criminal Court. 2A1R2-E-091220 3 ICC-ASP/19/2/Add.1/Rev.2 Justice Alexis-Windsor is nominated for election in accordance with article 36, paragraph 4 (a) (i), of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court: “By the procedure for the nomination of candidates for appointment to the highest judicial offices in the State in question.” The candidate satisfies the provisions of article 36, paragraph 3 (a), of the Rome Statute as an individual of high moral character, impartiality and integrity and possesses the qualifications for appointment to the highest judicial offices in Trinidad and Tobago. Justice Alexis-Windsor meets fully the requirements of article 36, paragraph 3 (b), of the Rome Statute which provides that: “every candidate shall have established competence in criminal law and procedure, and the necessary relevant experience, whether as a judge, prosecutor, advocate or in other similar capacity, in criminal proceedings.” The candidate therefore fulfils the requirements relevant to election as a judge under List A pursuant to article 36, paragraph 5, of the Rome Statute. The candidate’s experience and qualifications are based on her considerable experience, training and demonstrated competence in criminal law and criminal procedure at both the national and international levels for over twenty-three (23) years. Justice Alexis-Windsor is currently a judge of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, where she adjudicates on complex pre-trial and trial matters including murder, sexual offences and narcotic drugs. Justice Alexis-Windsor has addressed cases concerning women and children, including those who were victims of alleged sexual violence, therefore satisfying article 36 paragraph 8 (b), of the Rome Statute. The candidate has served as a Prosecutor and an Appeals Counsel at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) for a period of ten (10) years. Judge Alexis-Windsor was also part of several high-level prosecutions at both trial and appellate level at the ICTR and has therefore gained experience in the prosecution of crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide and rape. For the purposes of article 36, paragraph 8 (a) (i), (ii) and (iii), of the Rome Statute, Justice Alexis-Windsor will represent the common law system from the Group of Latin American and Caribbean States. She is a female candidate. In expressing her interest in standing for election as a judge of the International Criminal Court, Ms. Alexis-Windsor has formally undertaken to make herself available to serve on a full-time basis when the workload of the Court so requires. The candidate is also fluent in one of the working languages of the Court.

  • Procedural Fairness in International Courts and Tribunals
    Procedural Fairness in International Courts and Tribunals 19-20 September 2014 University of Surrey Workshop Programme Contents Overview 3 Programme 4 Biographies 6 List of Participants 10 Organisers and Sponsors 11 2 Overview A topical and timely subject for study, the question of procedural fairness entails the identification of fundamental principles inherent to the judicial and arbitral processes. Whilst the manifestation of such core standards of fairness will necessarily diverge according to the particular forum, the workshop aims to identify their essence with reference to the procedural issues arising in practice. The aim of this workshop is to bring academics and practitioners together to initiate ground-breaking research into this novel topic. The workshop employs a comparative approach whereby participants will analyse the procedures and practices of various international courts and tribunals. It aims to identify patterns of commonality and divergence in the core standards of procedural fairness of international courts and to develop a holistic understanding of the nature of procedural fairness and the challenges to its realisation in the international judicial system. In addition to the aforementioned themes, specific aspects of international judicial procedure will be explored alongside contributions on the theoretical question of the implications that fairness in international procedural law may have for general international law, such as its systemic traits, the ‘humanisation’ of international procedure and the responsibility of international courts and tribunals for failure to meet standards of fairness. The workshop brings together a range of expertise on international courts and tribunals with the aim of sharing experiences, generating fresh ideas for improvements to international judicial procedure and querying established conventions on the procedural nature of arbitration and adjudication in international dispute settlement.
