U.S. Judge Joins War Crimes Court
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - Patricia M. Wald, a judge on the District of
Columbia federal appeals court, will join the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal as
a judge, the U.N. court said Wednesday.
Wald, 70, will replace outgoing U.S. judge Gabrielle Kirk McDonald, president
of the 14-judge tribunal, who is leaving the court Nov. 17.
Wald, a graduate of Connecticut College and Yale Law School, served as a law
clerk to Judge Jerome N. Frank of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and as
assistant attorney general for legislative affairs in the Department of
Justice before being appointed a judge in 1979.
She has served on the District of Columbia court of appeals ever since,
including a term as chief judge from July 1986 until January 1991.
Wald, who was appointed by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan after
consultations with the U.N. Security Council and the General Assembly, will
serve until November 2001 with The Hague-based tribunal.
The U.N. court was set up in 1993 to bring to justice those responsible for
war crimes committed since 1991 in the former Yugoslavia.
