ZAGREB, June 23 (Hina) - Please not that the second paragraph in
the news item headlined "CROATIAN PROFESSOR NO LONGER JUDGE OF INT. TRIBUNAL
FOR LAW OF SEA" should read correctly "The election of seven new judges from
Africa, Asia, Latin America, and western and eastern Europe, was held in New
York from 16 to 24 June at a meeting of 147 States-Parties, signatories to the
UN Convention on the Law of the Sea". Following is the corrected
version:
"The Croatian judge in the International Tribunal for the Law of the
Sea, Budislav Lukas, did not manage to be elected for his second term in this
UN court, the seat of which is in Hamburg, Germany.
The election of seven new judges from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and
western and eastern Europe, was held in New York from 16 to 24 June at a
meeting of 147 States-Parties, signatories to the UN Convention on the Law of
the Sea.
None of the current judges, who had their counter-candidates, was not
re-elected. The nine-year term of the newly-elected judges commences this
October.
The Croatian law professor Vukas, who became a judge of this tribunal
in 1996 and a vice-president in 2002, will be replaced by Pole Stanislaw
Pawlak."
