Introduction

The Case Law Database (“CLD”) is a gateway to the jurisprudence of the ICTR, ICTY, and IRMCT Appeals Chambers.

It provides direct access to extracts of key judgements and decisions rendered by the ICTR, ICTY, and IRMCT Appeals Chambers since their inception, as well as to full-text versions of the corresponding appeal judgements and decisions.

Users can conduct quick searches by notions, cases names, titles of filings, date (in year-month-day format), statutes, rules, and other instruments through the “Basic Search” page. In addition, refined searches in all fields of the database can be conducted through the “Advanced Search” feature.

Please note that the CLD does not include confidential decisions and restatements of established case law and does not necessarily contain all notable rulings by the Appeals Chambers of the ICTR, the ICTY, and the IRMCT. For exact numbering of footnotes, refer to full documents.

The CLD is a living tool and its content is being regularly updated. Please help us improve the service by using our feedback form.

Right of Prosecution to be heard \| State requests for review	Decision on Review - 17.01.2008	GOTOVINA et al. (IT-06-90-AR108bis.2)
8. In the instant case, Croatia requests review of a decision, which was issued by Trial Chamber I upon motion of Gotovina.[1] Thus, according to the Rules, Gotovina has the right to be heard on this matter, while the Prosecution may be heard only if the Appeals Chamber considers it in the interests of justice.[2] The Appeals Chamber considers that, since Gotovina was arrested upon request of the Prosecution in the first place,[3] the interests of justice require that the Prosecution be heard in relation to this matter. The Prosecution Motion is therefore validly filed. show footnotes [1] Prosecutor v.
