#JudgeSebutinde
#ICJ #JudgeSebutinde has made some clarification about the information that has been in the news for the last few weeks on how she has supported #Israel on a religious ground. However, this article still left questions unanswered. (www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/oped/...)

Lastly, there was a precedent with #JudgeSebutinde when #WikiLeaks published #USDiplomaticCables referring to a conversation that she had with a #USDiplomat. In that case as well, we are yet to know the full story (www.theguardian.com/world/2010/d...). She therefore needs to do better to convince.

Second, #JudgeSebutinde in her clarification makes things seem simple. Yet, it took her more than a month to issue any subsequent statement to challenge the news. Why? If there was no truth in the information initially published, why did she not make the newspaper correct itself?

First, #JudgeSebutinde does not state what was her full testimony of 2 min before the religious group. Here is my question: what did she say that led to the information published in the media? And how did this information get to the media? The #InternationalCourtofJustcie ought to investigate.
