I DAVID ANTHONY HUNT, pre-appeal judge in these proceedings;

NOTING the "Reply Brief of Appellee Zejnil Delalic" filed on behalf of the appellant Zejnil Delalic on 17 September 1999 ("Brief");

NOTING that the Brief contained, in Annex 5, two extracts from witness testimony given by protected witnesses D and DC.4 in closed session at the trial in these proceedings ("Annexed Closed Session Testimony") and certain brief references to that testimony in the substantive submissions;

NOTING that there is no indication that the remaining part of the Brief contained any material of a confidential nature;

NOTING that the Brief in its entirety was filed confidentially by the Registry, although Delalic in filing the Brief did not designate it confidential or request that it be filed confidentially;

CONSIDERING that it was unnecessary for the whole of the Brief to be filed confidentially;

NOTING that counsel for Delalic was requested to identify those portions of the submissions made in the Brief which refer to evidence given in closed session or to other material the publication of which would be incompatible with witness protection measures ("confidential material");

NOTING that counsel for Delalic complied with this request by providing the annexed document designating certain pages of the transcript as referring to confidential material;

HEREBY ORDER that

(i) the Annexed Closed Session Testimony and
(ii) the pages of the Brief designated in the document annexed to this order

are designated confidential, the remainder of the Brief being a public document.

 

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