Tribunal’s Press Briefings Get Interactive

 

The Tribunal is pleased to announce that from today members of the public will have the possibility to ask questions about any aspect of the Tribunal’s work directly to its Spokespersons. They will respond to a selection of the most relevant questions during the weekly Press Briefing.

The next Press Briefing will be held on Wednesday, 24 August. We invite you to send any questions you may have by Tuesday, 23 August, 12:00pm through a specially designed page on the Tribunal’s website and through Twitter. Questions can be sent in English, French, B/C/S, Albanian and Macedonian.

The transcripts of the Press Briefing will be made available in English and B/C/S on the Tribunal’s website. Responses to questions of special interest to Macedonian and Albanian-speaking communities will be translated into their languages. The full video of the Press Briefing will be uploaded onto YouTube shortly after the Press Briefing.

This initiative marks another step in the Tribunal’s ongoing efforts to continue its pioneering role in ensuring judicial accessibility and transparency. It will provide an opportunity for journalists unable to attend the Press Briefings in person to take part in them. Through inviting people to engage with the Tribunal’s Spokespersons directly, the ICTY seeks to strengthen the dialogue with the communities affected by its work and to increase the understanding of its achievements throughout the region and beyond.
