{{International Criminal Court Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda on Wednesday submitted to the Assembly of States Parties the names of three candidates to be her Deputy Prosecutor.}}<\/p>\n
Raija Toiviainen of Finland, Paul Rutledge of Australia and James Stewart of Canada have been selected from 126 candidates who applied.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Prosecutor will be elected by the 121-member Assembly of States Parties at its 11th session, due to take place in The Hague from November 14 to 22. <\/p>\n
The chosen candidate must get an absolute majority.<\/p>\n
Canadian James Stewart is the only one with international justice experience, having worked as a prosecutor at both the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. <\/p>\n
He returned in 2007 to Canada, where he is General Counsel for the Attorney General of Ontario.<\/p>\n
The Prosecutor has thus chosen like her predecessor Luis Moreno Ocampo to work with one Deputy rather than two. <\/p>\n
Ocampo initially had both Bensouda and Serge Brammertz as deputies, but did not replace Brammertz when he left in 2006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
