联合国已选出五名国际法院（ICJ）法官，任期九年，届时该法院正面临创纪录的案件量，包括南非就以色列加沙战争对以色列提起的种族灭绝案。
The United Nations has elected five judges to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for nine-year terms, as the court faces a record caseload, including South Africa’s genocide case against Israel over its war on Gaza.
投票于周二在联合国总部举行，候选人须在联合国大会和安全院同时获得绝对多数票方可当选。
The vote was held on Tuesday at UN headquarters, with candidates requiring an absolute majority in both the General Assembly and the Security Council to win.
英国的达波·阿坎德、法国的弗朗索瓦·阿布伦、约旦的马哈茂德·代夫拉·赫穆德、新加坡的李安琪和肯尼亚的菲比·奥科瓦当选为该15人法庭成员。他们的任期将于2027年2月6日开始。
Dapo Akande of the United Kingdom, Francois Alabrune of France, Mahmoud Daifallah Hmoud of Jordan, Rena Lee of Singapore and Phoebe Okowa of Kenya were elected to the 15-member panel. Their terms are set to begin on February 6, 2027.
两个联合国机构最初同意四名候选人，但未能选出第五名。安全院支持厄瓜多尔的马塞洛·瓦斯克斯-贝尔梅德斯，而大会支持奥科瓦，从而引发了进一步的投票轮次。
The two UN bodies initially agreed on four candidates but failed to select a fifth. The Security Council supported Ecuador’s Marcelo Vazquez-Bermudez, while the General Assembly backed Okowa, prompting further rounds of voting.
瓦斯克斯-贝尔梅德斯后来退出竞选，奥科瓦随后获得了大会和安全院的支持。投票通过秘密投票同时进行，但分别进行。
Vazquez-Bermudez later withdrew from the race, and Okowa subsequently won the backing of the General Assembly and the Security Council. The votes were held by secret ballot concurrently, but separately.

其中包括南非指控以色列在加沙战争中违反《防止及惩治灭绝种族罪公约》的案件。法院此前已下令采取临时措施，但尚未就种族灭绝是否发生作出最终裁决。
Among them is South Africa’s case accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention in its war on Gaza. The court has previously ordered provisional measures but has not issued a final ruling on whether genocide occurred.
2025年10月，法院发布咨询意见，阐述以色列对联合国及在被占领巴勒斯坦领土运营的人道主义组织的义务。
