ICTY Weekly Press Briefing
Date: 28.07.2004
Time: 12.00 p.m.

Registry and Chambers:

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

Good afternoon,

There will be a Plenary Session of the Judges of the Tribunal this afternoon and possibly tomorrow. We will keep you informed of any developments that might arise from the Session.

I would like to remind you that the Appeals Judgement in The Prosecutor v. Tihomir Blaskic will be rendered tomorrow 29 July at 9 a.m. in Courtroom I. You are all welcome to attend.

We have also received the ‘Prosecution Submission in Response to the Trial Chamber’s 19 July 2004 "Further Order on Future Conduct of the Trial"’, the ‘Prosecution Submission in Response to the Trial Chamber’s 21 July 2004 "Further Order on Future Conduct of the Trial Relating to Severance of One or More Indictments"’, and the Amici Curiae’s submissions on the same subject.

Copies of these have already been made for you and will be available after this briefing.

As the summer recess is almost upon us, this will be the last scheduled press briefing until 1 September. Needless to say, the Press Office will of course be staffed and open throughout the recess period.

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