The UDP endorses Mr. Tambadou for the ICJ judgeship, noting his exceptional qualifications and dedication to justice throughout his career as Attorney General and Minister for Justice. His advocacy in human rights and international issues further underscores his suitability for this prestigious role.
The United Democratic Party (UDP) has expressed strong support for Mr. Tambadou’s candidacy for a judgeship at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). His distinguished tenure as Attorney General and Minister for Justice of Gambia positions him as a highly qualified candidate during a pivotal time in the nation’s history.
Having collaborated closely with Mr. Tambadou, I can personally attest to his legal expertise and unwavering dedication to the rule of law. During our time together as Cabinet colleagues—myself as Minister for Foreign Affairs and later Vice President—I observed his profound commitment to justice and his remarkable capabilities as a lawyer.
Throughout his career, Mr. Tambadou has been a passionate advocate for human rights, beginning with his early legal work representing underprivileged clients pro bono at the Gambian Bar. His dedication to justice was also reflected in his role at the United Nations Special Tribunal for Rwanda.
As Attorney General, Mr. Tambadou effectively highlighted the plight of the Rohingya people, showcasing his commitment to international advocacy and justice. I hold great confidence in his experience and energy, believing he is well-positioned to enhance the work of the ICJ as a Judge.
In conclusion, I commend the Gambian Government for endorsing the candidacy of Mr. Tambadou, a legal expert with an impressive record in advocating for justice on a global scale. I offer my unequivocal support for his candidacy.
