Professor Bimal Patel, Vice-Chancellor of Rashtriya Raksha University and Member of the National Security Advisory Board of India, has been elected to the International Law Commission for a five-year term starting 1 January 20293. It is said to have been a hard-fought election at the United Nations. Patel garnered 163 votes in the UN General Assembly out of 192 members present and voting, topping the Asia-Pacific group that included candidates from China, South Korea, and Japan. In the Asia-Pacific group, there were 11 very strong candidates vying for 8 seats, making the election hotly contested. India topped the group with 163 votes for Patel, followed by 162 votes for Thailand, 154 for Japan, and 145 for Vietnam. China could manage 142 votes, followed by 140 for South Korea, 139 for Cyprus, and 123 for Mongolia. Patel is an esteemed educationist, jurist, and administrator and during his professional career of over three decades, he has served in various roles such as the Director at the Gujarat National Law University and member of the 21st Law Commission of India. He has worked for 15 years at global organizations such as the United Nations of Youth and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) at the Hague, the Netherlands, according to his profile on the Rashtriya Raksha University website. The International Law Commission was established by the General Assembly in 1947 to undertake the mandate of the Assembly to “initiate studies and make recommendations for the purpose of “encouraging the progressive development of international law and its codification.”
