By acclamation, the member state representatives today elected Vasciannie during a regular session of the OAS Permanent Council, which approved the Jamaican government’s nomination. Rattray had resigned due to ill health, and Vasciannie will serve the rest of that term which runs until December 31, 2005, on the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil-headquartered Juridical Committee. The IJC serves the OAS as an advisory body on juridical matters of an international nature and promotes the progressive development and the codification of international law.
Permanent Council Chairman, Panama’s Ambassador Aristides Royo, expressed the delegations’ congratulations to Dr. Vasciannie and the Jamaican government, on the election.
The University of the West Indies law professor, who heads the University’s Department of Government, is also currently director of the International Division in the island’s Attorney General’s Department, with the rank of deputy solicitor general. A 1981 Jamaica Rhodes Scholar and 1984 Commonwealth Scholar, Vasciannie is an internationally-renowned expert who holds a D.Phil and an LL.M. in international law from Oxford University, as well as an Oxford B.A. in law, and a B.Sc. in Economics from the UWI.
An attorney-at-law who has practiced in Jamaica and New York among other places, Vasciannie has won numerous international awards for his work. He has written four books and numerous other publications and articles on a variety of subjects, notably international law issues, and is a contributor to a number of international journals.
Jamaica’s Alternate Representative to the OAS, Delrose Montague, hailed Vasciannie’s election to membership on the Inter-American Juridical Committee, noting it affords Jamaica the opportunity to continue serving that important hemispheric body.
Expressing appreciation on the new member’s and the Jamaican government behalf, Montague also underscored Vasciannie’s distinguished career in jurisprudence, law and legal education. “Dr. Vasciannie is eminently qualified to serve on this Committee, and he looks forward to working with his fellow members on the Committee to continue the important work of the IJC.”
