It is merely a summary.
ICTY Weekly Press Briefing
Date: 27.10.2004
Time: 12.00 p.m.
Registry and Chambers:
Jim Landale, Spokesman for Registry and Chambers,
made the following statement:
Good afternoon,
I can confirm that the Registry has received
a request from Steven Kay and Gillian Higgins for their withdrawal
from their role as assigned counsel in the Milosevic case. I would
underline the fact that at this point it is a request. Both assigned
counsel are still assigned to the case until there is a decision
otherwise. Copies of that request for withdrawal to the Registry
will be made available to you once this briefing has concluded.
The President of the ICTY, Judge Theodor Meron,
will conduct an official visit to Croatia on 4 and 5 November 2004,
at the invitation of the Croatian Government. This will be the first
official visit to Croatia by President Meron.
During the two-day visit, President Meron is due to meet with the
Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of
Justice, the President of the Supreme Court and the President of
the Republic.
Discussions are expected to focus on general aspects
of cooperation between the ICTY and Croatia, and the Tribunal’s
completion strategy.
Aside from the continuation of the Krajisnik, Oric
and Hadzihasanovic and Kubura trials next week:
There will be a status conference in The Prosecutor
v. Milomir Stakic on 2 November at 2.30 p.m. in Courtroom I.
There will be a status conference in The Prosecutor
v. Mitar Rasevic on 4 November at 3 p.m.
There will be a status conference in The Prosecutor
v. Stanislav Galic on 22 November at 2.30 p.m.
There will be a status conference in The Prosecutor
v. Martinovic and Naletilic on 23 November at 4 p.m.
And, there will be a status conference in The
Prosecutor v. Milan Babic on 17 December at 2.30 p.m.
With regard to court documents, a list of the most
recent court documents will be available to you after this.
Office of the Prosecution:
Florence Hartmann for the Office of the Prosecutor
made no statement.
Questions:
Asked what the next step would be, Landale said
that in most cases, pursuant to the Directive on Assignment of Defence
Counsel, the request would be to the Registrar and it would be for
him to decide. Of course this case was slightly different in that
the counsel were assigned pursuant to an Order from the Trial Chamber
and so it could well be that the Trial Chamber would need to rule
on the matter. That would be something he expected to be determined
in the course of today, Landale said.
