On 29 June 2010, she was elected to fill the vacancy created by Shi Jiuyong's resignation on 28 May 2010. She is one of three female judges serving on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and one of only four women elected as members of the Court to date.[1] Xue is the fifth Chinese judge at the ICJ, and the third representing the People's Republic of China (see Judges of the International Court of Justice).

Having been re-elected to the Court in 2011 and 2020, Xue's term will expire on 5 February 2030.[2][3] On the sixth of February 2012, Xue was appointed as Vice President of the International Court of Justice.[4]

From 1980 to 2003, Xue served in the Department of Treaty and Law of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, eventually rising to the position of Director-General. She returned to Columbia Law School in 1991 and obtained a Doctor of Juridical Science in 1995. Xue was appointed as the Chinese ambassador to the Netherlands in 2003 and served until 2008.
