Minister of Foreign and Caricom Affairs senator Amery Browne - Jeff Mayers
FOREIGN Affairs Minister Dr Amery Browne on Wednesday admitted the competition for the election of one of six judges to the International Criminal Court (ICC) this time around was difficult.
In a post on his Facebook page, Dr Browne said, “The process was much more difficult this time around, and the competition from some much larger countries was intense. But due to the strength of our candidate, and due to the negotiating skill of some of our nation s best Foreign Service diplomats, we were able to prevail.”
On Wednesday, Justice Althea Alexis-Windsor was elected an ICC judge to fill one of six vacancies at the court, which sits in The Hague (Netherlands).
A MAN who twice committed acts of indecent assault against a first year pupil has been found guilty of the crimes.
Michael Inniss, who was 30 years at the time of the offences, will be sentenced in the new year. The State will petition the court that after serving a term of imprisonment he is to be registered with the sex offendersâ registry.
The girl, who is now 20 years old, gave evidence during the judge-alone trial which began in October before Justice Althea Alexis-Windsor.
The evidence given in the Magistrateâs Court by her mother, who died in 2018, and testimony from the investigating officer Constantine, also formed the Stateâs case.
