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"),
NOTING that
CONSIDERING that as a result of the content of confidential Annex B to the Prosecution Motion of 22 November 2002, and the expectation that the Prosecution would seek to make further amendments to that indictment, the Trial Chamber did not confirm the amended Bosnia indictment as filed at that time,
NOTING that the Prosecution has, in fact, proposed no further amendments to the amended Bosnia indictment, and that the Prosecution case has now closed,
CONSIDERING that confirmation of the amended indictment as operating from the date of its filing has no impact on the Rule 98 bis Motion, because (a) the Amici Curiae have relied in its Motion on the amended indictment of 22 November 2002, and (b) it was the Prosecution that sought to amend the indictment at that time,
PURSUANT TO Rule 50 of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the International Tribunal
HEREBY CONFIRMS that the operative Bosnia indictment is the Bosnia indictment as amended on 22 November 2002.
Done in English and French, the English text being authoritative.
