Multiple Tunisian figures publicly congratulate Professor Slim Laghmani following his election as a judge at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS). In remarks shared at the ceremony, Salwa Hamrouni presents the election as a “normal” outcome of selecting the best candidates for prestigious international institutions, describing her pride in the decision for Laghmani, his faculty, and the country. She frames the moment as an emotionally prepared address, emphasizing recognition for the research and legal work connected to the international law laboratory and related academic structures.
Haykel Ben Mahfoudh also congratulates Laghmani, saying the election recognizes an exceptional academic and scientific career marked by excellence and rigor, alongside ongoing commitment to international law. Ben Mahfoudh adds that the election represents the start of a new mission, opening a new chapter at a time when international law continues to face evolving challenges.
Across both sources, the central points are the same: Laghmani’s ITLOS election is portrayed as acknowledgement of his professional record and the beginning of his new responsibilities at an international judicial body.
