Nawaf Salam is the President of International Court of Justice run by UN.
Currently he is chairing the Hague Trial relating to the case filed by South Africa against the State of Israel under allegations of genocide, war crimes and human rights violation.
Not doing fairely well at the profession of law, Nawaf played safe and chose the career of lecturer as it is safe to parrot the same speeches at lecture. However, his radicalism and zeal for Islam brewed with his family connections opened the doors for him to be the Ambassador of Lebanon to UN, ECOSOC representative from Lebanon, Prez of Security Council, Vice Prez of the General Assembly apart from other pandering he has received from UN. Not only Nawaf, his wife Sahar Baassiri too is highly pampered by the UN as the Lebanese ambassador to UN. 
As an epitome of the Judicial Dictatorship, Nawaf Salam is an extremely radical Muslim who has been appointed as the President despite knowing his hatred for Israel and Non-Muslims. 
Lebanese by nationality, his radical Islamic roots penetrate to his family legacy from grandfather Salim Salam who was the Deputy of Beirut to Ottoman Parliament while the hypocrite also boasted being liberal with alleged reforms with Beirut Reform Movement. Salim was a selective Islamist, imposing Islam on other while letting his daughter Anbara Salam enjoy the French liberty to defy Burqa or the Islamic veil draping women head to toe to protect them from being lusted upon by the ever-lusty Sharia regime.
His uncle Saeb Salam, another Islamic radical was part of the freedom war against Lebanon Mandate of France and enjoyed dictatorship as PM for four consecutive tenures.
However the hypocrite Nawaf despite enjoying privileges for family legacy of fighting against the liberal progressive French mandate to establish Islamic rule, went to study in France. He was even granted Legion of Honor by the communist French-loathing French Prez Nickolas Sarkozy who is better known for his scandalous wife.
His cousin, son of Saeb Salam, Tamam Salam did not exhibit any qualities thus lasting to be PM of just one tenure owing to nepotism.
Going deeper in his radical genetics, his grandmother (wife of Salim Salam) was the granddaughter of Ahmad Al Agharr who was an Islamic cleric, mufti and qadi releasing Islamic fatwas against anything and everything, just like what modern day Islamist and Dhimmi Judges across the world are continuing till date.
Owing to his maternal ancestor who held the title of Naqib al-Ashraf, the title given to head of the order of the descendants of Muhammad, he has Mohammad's blood in his veins.
His double standard approach towards two adjacent countries is both shocking and explainable. He wanted increased intervention of UN in South Lebanon in order to safeguard Hezbollah from Israeli fire. On the other hand, he wanted Syria to burn so that the embers reach Israel. Syria had huge conglomerate of Jihadist fighters who could turn towards Israel in their backyard at any moment.  
Thus is safe to say his hatred against Israel runs deep in his genetics. Yet the chosen lion was set as the presiding judge at ICJ.
His anti-Israel Stand has been visible in his statement as well, which certainly the UN is well documented about.
