Last week four candidates got the required majorities right away, but it took four ballots in the Security Council and three in the General Assembly to decide the contest for the fifth seat, which finally went to Senegal's Isaac Forster, 60, former president of his nation's supreme court and the first World Court member from south-of-the-Sahara Africa.
