International and Supranational Court Judges

Jurists who have served as judges on an international or supranational tribunal, principally the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, the East African Court of Justice and the African Court on Human and Peoples Rights. Belongs here: any jurist whose seat this atlas records is on such a body, whatever their nationality. Does not belong here: a judge of a purely domestic supreme or constitutional court, who belongs under this atlas's regional Modern Constitutional and Supreme Court Judges subcategories instead, or a United States Supreme Court justice, who belongs under United States Supreme Court Justices.
