It is merely a summary.


ICTY Weekly Press Briefing

Date: 08.07.2004

Time: 12.00 p.m.


Registry and Chambers:


Jim Landale, Spokesman for Registry and Chambers,
made the following statement:


Good afternoon,


The Defence Case in the Milosevic trial is now
scheduled to commence this Wednesday 14 July at 9 a.m. in Courtroom
I, subject to the health of the accused. The trial is scheduled
to run on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week from 9 to
1.45 p.m. The following week it will run from Monday 19 July to
Wednesday 21 July at the same times. The trial will then be adjourned
until Tuesday 31 August 2004. We will keep you informed of any changes
to that schedule.


The period for media to accredit themselves for
the start of the Milosevic Defence Case starts at 1 p.m. this afternoon
and comes to an end at 3 p.m. on Monday 12 July. The list of journalists
granted accreditation will be posted on our website at around 5.30
p.m. on Monday, so those of you who are granted a place in the public
gallery can pick up tickets at the advertised times. I would make
a plea for those who can to pick up their tickets on Tuesday to
do so and avoid a last minute rush on Wednesday morning.


As you all should also be aware, this afternoon,
the initial appearance for Mirko Norac will be held at 4 p.m. in
Courtroom I. All media are welcome to attend.


On behalf of the Tribunal’s Outreach Programme:


Chambers and OTP representatives of the ICTY took part in the third
and final session of the first group of seminars for Croatian Judges
and Prosecutors involved in war crimes cases, held near Zagreb on
Friday and Saturday, 2 and 3 July. The second group of sessions
is scheduled to run between September and October.


The programme was organised at the initiative of the Croatian Ministry
of Justice and has been supported by ICTY Outreach, in accordance
with the Tribunal's mandate to assist in strengthening the capacity
of local judiciaries to handle war crimes cases.


At the last session, the participants conducted a mock trial based
on a hypothetical factual scenario, thus putting into practice many
of the legal concepts discussed in the first two sessions.


A principal aim of the seminars is to compare the
Croatian legal system to the rules that apply in international law
and at the ICTY, so as to better identify all the relevant issues
for conducting war crimes trials in Croatia, whether those trials
are brought before local courts as a result of local investigations,
or on the basis of information and evidentiary materials provided
by the ICTY OTP to the Croatian State Prosecutors’ Office, or as
a result of the possible transfer of ICTY cases involving intermediary
and lower level accused in accordance with Rule 11 bis of
the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure and Evidence.


In terms of the remainder of the court schedule:


There will be a status conference in The Prosecutor
v. Mitar Rasevic
tomorrow, Friday 9 July at 9 a.m in Courtroom
II.


There will be a status conference in The Prosecutor
v. Radovan Stankovic
on 15 July at 3 p.m. in Courtroom II.


Finally, I understand that the ADC will give a
briefing after this.

Office of the Prosecution:


Florence Hartmann, Spokesperson for the Office
of the Prosecutor made no statement.


Questions:


Asked for an update on Mirko Norac’s travel
to The Hague, Landale declined to comment, but said he would confirm
once Norac was in the Tribunal’s custody.


A question was asked whether there had been any news regarding
the request made by the Appeals Chamber in the Krstic case to the
Prosecution to investigate their disclosure practice in light of
the allegations of misconduct made against them. Hartmann replied
that she would have to check on this.
