Šešelj entitled to documents in Serbian

This decision ordered the prosecution to translate evidence it disclosed to Šešelj into Serbian, but the prosecution was not obligated to provide the accused with a hard copy, as he had requested.

The prosecution could disclose the documents in “electronic form”, on CDs. The Registry was ordered to assist the accused with “computer hardware, software and training”.

Šešelj was convinced that this decision of the Trial Chamber was revoked by the “written guarantees” he received from the Registry on December 8, after his one-month long hunger strike.

Among other things, the Registry undertook to deliver documents to Šešelj “in Serbian and on paper” but was quick to clarify that this referred only to the materials originating from the Trial Chamber and not from the prosecution, as it was “not authorized to speak on its behalf”.

After that, the Trial Chamber issued the order letting the accused know that the “guarantees” he had forced the Registry to give did not revoke its decision of June 4, 2006, stipulating the form of the disclosure.

Šešelj then filed an appeal with the Appeals Chamber asking it to reverse the decision of  July 4, 2006. His appeal was dismissed Tuesday.

This does not mean that Šešelj could not ask the new Trial Chamber hearing his case to reverse the current decision on the form of disclosure. The new Chamber consists of Judge Robinson, Judge Bonomy and Judge Antonetti.

Judge Antonetti was appointed the pre-trial judge in the case against Šešelj, the Serbian Radical Party leader, charged with crimes against humanity committed during the 1990’s in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Vojvodina.
