Dire’s appointment by the United Nations makes him the first South African to ever sit as a judge in the international court.
JOHANNESBURG - Newly appointed International Court of Justice judge, Dire Tladi, said that his election would allow for more diversity and a different perspective in the court.
He said that while it's unfortunate that this is the first time there has been a judge from southern Africa, he hopes to influence the court in a different way."I’m ecstatic that it's me, I’m really overwhelmed by the support that I’ve received, especially, because the person that nominated me was John Dugard."
