Brumskine is the first Liberian to head an ECOWAS institution.
“Congratulations, Madam President!” he added.
In a related development, the ECOWAS Court of Justice website announced: “ECOWAS Court of Justice Elects New President, Vice-President as New Judicial Term Begins.”
Hon. Justice Charlyne M. Brumskine (Liberia) and Hon. Justice Désiré Henri Aihou (Benin) have emerged as the new President and Vice-President of the Community Court of Justice, ECOWAS, respectively.
