The Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) swore in six new judges - five of whom are women - on 9 March. The new members of the ICC were elected for nine-year terms and were selected in December last year at the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) to the Rome Statute. The judges come from Peru, Uganda, Japan, Canada, Benin and Italy. The ICC has a bench of 18 judges, who are chosen from among persons of high moral character, impartiality and integrity who possess the qualifications required in their respective countries for appointment to the highest judicial offices.
