THIS TRIAL CHAMBER of the International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991 ("the International Tribunal"),

NOTING that, at the Pre-Defence Conference held today, the Accused applied for safe conduct orders in respect of three witnesses, identified as 1068, 1329 and 327 ("identified witnesses"),

NOTING that in dealing with that application, Judge Robinson stated that ordinarily such applications should be made in writing, but that the Chamber would consider the application on the basis that it was done orally,

CONSIDERING that, after deliberation, the Trial Chamber concludes that applications for safe conduct must necessarily be made in writing,

PURSUANT TO Rule 54 of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the International Tribunal

HEREBY ORDERS the Accused to apply in writing for safe conduct orders in respect of the identified witnesses.

Done in English and French, the English text being authoritative.
