Supreme Court Judge Isaac Lenaola has been elected Vice President of the Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone
Lenaola was elected unanimously as the Vice President of the Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone at the Court’s Plenary held in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
The Residual Special Court for Sierra is an ad hoc court and the successor to the Special Court for Sierra Leone.
He will deputize Justice Richard Lussick of Samoa who was elected President of the court for a two-year term.
Justice Lenaola’s wealth of experience and dedication to justice make him a fitting choice for this prestigious role.
Judge Lenaola was appointed to the Court in 2013 by the then Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon.
