Abdulqawi A. Yusuf
President, International Court of Justice
1. It is a great pleasure to address you today at the inaugural conference on the Governance
of International Courts and Tribunals: Ensuring Judicial Independence and Accountability. I
would like to thank the University of Leiden, and in particular Professor Blokker, for organizing a
forum to discuss the important issues of governance of international courts and tribunals.
