Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago has been elected judge of the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to the Department of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday. Santiago unanimously won the highly powerful seat in the elections held last Monday, December 12, in New York City. She was reportedly the first to be elected out of 18 candidates vying for six seats on the ICC, garnering 79 nods out of 104 valid votes. The stint makes Santiago the first woman from an Asian developing state to join as a judge in the Netherlands-based international court that tries persons accused of the most serious crimes of international concern.
