Summary

Judge Liu Daqun, from the People’s Republic of China, was appointed to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on 7 March 2000, and was sworn in on 3 April 2000. He was regularly re-appointed by the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General to serve at the ICTY until its functions were transferred to the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT). From 2001 until 2005, Judge Liu was the Presiding Judge of Trial Chamber I presiding over leading cases such as Naletilić & Martinović, Blagojević & Jokić, and Halilović. From 2005, Judge Liu served on the Appeals Chamber, hearing cases from both the ICTY and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). At appellate level, Judge Liu presided over the Šainović et al case and the Gatete case. In 2015, he was elected as the Vice-President of the ICTY.
