Mladic's defense "triumph": Judges "appeared biased"

Those disqualified by Judge Jean-Claude Antonetti's decision include Mechanism's President Theodor Meron, as well as Carmel Agius and Liu Daqun.

The three leading judges of the former Hague Tribunal (ICTY), succeeded by the Mechanism, have been excluded from the second instance proceedings due to the "appearance of bias" in the case.

They will be replaced in the appeals process by Mparany Mamy Richard Rajohnson, Prisca Matimba Nyambe, and Gberdao Gustave Kam.

Judge Antonetti's decision, announced on Tuesday, effectively accepted the argument of Mladic's defense that Meron, Agius, and Daqun were biased because they participated in the passing of earlier ICTY judgement that found officers subordinate to Mladic guilty on charges of genocide and other crimes committed in Srebrenica in 1995.

The defense argued that with these earlier rulings Meron, Agius, and Daqun in advance established the guilt of Mladic himself, and made conclusions about the general's role and responsibility.
