But question marks hang over the court due to some serious governance failures and errors of judgment in recent times, suggesting that all is not well at the apex court. These concerns will be top of mind when consideration is given to the appointment of a new chief justice of the court to succeed the current incumbent, Mogoeng Mogoeng. Richard Calland <a href="https://theconversationafrica.cmail19.com/t/r-l-trlhltly-dtjyvuluy-i/"><span style="color:#0b6698;text-decoration:none">outlines</span></a> the qualities and attributes required for this top job.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020">Earlier this month former Chadian leader Hissène Habré passed away in jail in Senegal while serving a life sentence for war crimes, crimes against humanity and torture committed while he was in power from 1982 to 1990. The unprecedented trial and Habré’s conviction were hailed as a landmark moment for African justice. The tribunal that tried him represented Africa’s first locally produced international criminal law, its first application of universal jurisdiction, and its first judicial challenge to a former dictator’s quiet retirement. But, as Kerstin Carlson <a href="https://theconversationafrica.cmail19.com/t/r-l-trlhltly-dtjyvuluy-d/"><span style="color:#0b6698;text-decoration:none">explains</span></a>, the legacy of the trial and conviction is more mixed.
