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 ("International Tribunal"),

BEING SEISED of the "Notice of Motion to Open Hearing on Plavsic Motion for Provisional Release to Krajisnik Defence", filed by the Defence for Krajisnik on 8 August 2001 ("the Motion"), in which the Defence seeks an order granting it access to the hearing scheduled in the matter of the provisional release application by Biljana Plavsic for 29 August 2001,

CONSIDERING that the Trial Chamber had previously decided that the Defence for Krajisnik was not permitted to attend the hearing on the matter of the provisional release application by Biljana Plavsic held on 1 August 2001 and that this decision had been communicated to the Defence for Krajisnik,

CONSIDERING that the application by Biljana Plavsic for provisional release is a matter between Biljana Plavsic and the Office of the Prosecutor and has no connection to the Momcilo Krajisnik case,

CONSIDERING that there is no reason for the Trial Chamber to revisit its earlier decision,

PURSUANT TO RULE 54 of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the International Tribunal,

HEREBY DENIES THE MOTION.

 

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