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 a "Prosecution Submission of Kosovo "Proof Of Death" Report and Motion Seeking the Admission of Additional Exhibits in Relation to the Kosovo Indictment", filed on 16 February 2004 ("Report"), in which the Prosecution requests:
CONSIDERING that the Trial Chamber ordered the Prosecution to produce the Proof of Death Report, but that it is an analytical document and should not be exhibited,
CONSIDERING that the autopsy reports may be admitted into evidence to establish that the persons identified died and the manner of their death, but not to establish who was responsible for their deaths, and therefore no conclusions adverse to the Accused shall be drawn from their admission,

HEREBY ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
Done in English and French, the English text being authoritative.
