Chinese Ambassador to Hungary Becomes Judge in International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea
On 25 August, Duan Jielong, nominated by the Chinese Communist Party government, was named the new judge to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (#ITLOS) in Hamburg, Germany.
The Tribunal is an "independent judicial body" established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (#UNCLOS) to adjudicate maritime disputes "arising out of the interpretation and application of the Convention".
Duan, currently the PRC's ambassador to Hungary, received 149 votes in the first round of election and was therefore elected. His term will start on October 1, 2020 with an appointment of 9 years.
Since its establishment in 1996, the Tribunal has had 4 judges from the PRC.
[Editor's note: On 12 July 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled that China had violated the UNCLOS in South China Sea]
