Kai Ambos Biography

Kai Ambos is one of the most popular and richest Judge who was born on March 29, 1965 in Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Kai Ambos (born 29 March 1965) holds the chair of teaching in the University of Gottingen in Criminal law and Criminal procedure. He also teaches Comparative law, and International legal law. He was a judge in the District Court for Lower Saxony between 2006 to 2017. In February of 2017, he was appointed an Judge on the Special Tribunal for Kosovo (officially “Kosovo Relocated Specialist Judicial Institution”) at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. He has written and edited numerous papers concerning criminal law, procedure, and procedures in Germany and around the world.

In 2011, he said that the murder by Osama bin Laden had been “both illegal and morally dubious”.

Beyond the academic world, he came to national and international attention as a member of the defence team for Mladen Markač at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the case of “Gorovina and others”. More than ten years after the official indictment, on 16 November 2012, the case ended, on appeal, with an acquittal for Markač and his co-defendants, by a majority verdict of the panel judges. The outcome gave rise to much media discussion: Ambos himself admitted that he had been very much surprised by the eleventh hour acquittal.

In 2013 Ambos received an honorary doctorate from the Universidad Nacional de la Amazonía Peruana in northern Peru for “services to criminal justice and criminal process and his commitment to reform of the justice systems in Peru and other Latin American countries”. In January 2014 a “Research Centre for Latina American criminal law and criminal procedure” (“Centro de Estudios de Derecho Penal y Procesal Penal Latinoamericano” / CEDPAL) was inaugurated at Göttingen under the auspices of Ambos’ professorship. He serves currently as its “Director General”. The research centre is supported by its own academic advisory council and a specialist library containing more than 12,000 titles.

Kai Ambos served as a judge at the district court of Gottingen during more than 10 years, with his appointment being effective on 24 March 2006.

Then he was employed as an assistant professor at the Max Planck Institute for foreign and international criminal law.

In 2012 Kai Ambos argued that the “misuse” by the Ecuadorian government of its London embassy to protect Julian Assange from prosecution in Sweden in respect of rape charges was a breach of human rights. Pointing out that Assange had been able to arrange matters so that it had taken three English courts a year and a half to reach the point at which they were about to extradite Assange, Ambos went on to highlight ways in which the parties had been able to politicise the affair, and he set out ways in which the case highlighted that in practice the European Arrest Warrant system was being implemented very much more robustly in some member states than in others.
