The UDP expresses strong support for Mr. Tambadou’s candidacy for a judgeship at the International Court of Justice. Having served as the Attorney General and Minister for Justice of The Gambia, Mr. Tambadou is deemed eminently qualified, particularly during a pivotal time in the nation’s history.
During his tenure as Attorney General, he collaborated closely with cabinet members, including A.N.M. Ousainu Darboe, former Minister for Foreign Affairs and Vice President. Darboe highlighted Tambadou’s legal aptitude and unwavering commitment to justice and the rule of law.
A veteran legal practitioner, Darboe noted that Tambadou’s career began with pro bono representation of indigent clients in human rights cases. His commitment to justice was further exemplified through his work at the United Nations Special Tribunal for Rwanda.
As Attorney General, Mr. Tambadou successfully advocated for the Rohingya people’s rights, gaining international attention for their plight. With such a robust background, Darboe expressed confidence in Tambadou’s capacity to advance the International Court of Justice’s work as a diligent judge.
Darboe concluded by commending the Gambian Government for promoting Tambadou’s candidacy and pledged his unwavering support for a candidate recognized for his esteemed track record in justice at both national and international levels.
The UDP’s endorsement of Mr. Tambadou for an ICJ judgeship highlights his qualifications, legal expertise, and commitment to justice. His previous roles, including significant work at the UN and advocacy for human rights, position him as a strong candidate. This support reflects confidence in his ability to contribute positively to international law and justice.
