On November 4, 2008, Judge Patrick Lipton Robinson, Jamaican, was elected President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The appointment will be effective on November 17, 2008. This is a great achievement by a top-ranking Jamaican. Congratulations Judge Robinson. This is what we are talking about when we talk about the great achievements of Jamaicans globally. We wish Judge Robinson well and we hope he will see to it that the good people of Yugoslavia get the justice that they seek. God speed and keep making Jamaica proud.The ICTY is a United Nations body that was formed to prosecute serious crimes and atrocities that were committed during the wars in the former Yugoslavia (since 1991), and to try their alleged perpetrators. The tribunal is an ad-hoc court and is located in The Hague in the Netherlands.
