CJ Chan Sek Keong has become the first Asian jurist to be given the 2009 International Jurists Award by the International Council of Jurists (ICJ).
ICJ President Adish Aggarwala said the award, given out annually since 2007 is a recognition of CJ Chan's outstanding contributions to the administration of justice and that his achievement has enhanced the dignity of the judiciary in Asian countries.
CJ Chan received the award from Indian President Pratibha Patil in New Delhi last Saturday, at a two-day conference on International Terrorism and the Rule of Law.
The ICJ, which has a London-registered office, convened the meeting, which drew more than 3,000 delegates from about 60 countries.
