The Accused, Dusko Tadic, was indicted on 34 counts of crimes within the jurisdiction of the International Tribunal. At his initial appearance before the Trial Chamber on 26 April 1995, he pleaded not guilty to all counts. Three of the counts were subsequently withdrawn at trial. Of the remaining 31 counts, the Trial Chamber found the accused guilty on 9 counts, guilty in part on 2 counts, and not guilty on 20 counts. Judgement was handed down on 7 May 1997. The related Sentencing Judgement was delivered on 14 July 1997.
Both Mr. Tadic and the Prosecutor now appeal against separate aspects of the judgement of the Trial Chamber. Additionally, the Appellant appeals against the Sentencing Judgement. This explains why there are three appeals.
A great deal of time was taken up by proceedings relating to requests by the Appellant for leave to admit additional evidence. The main request, which concerned a proposal to produce more than 80 new witnesses, was made on 6 October 1997. It led to a number of steps. It was determined on 15 October 1998. Two further requests by the Appellant for leave to admit additional evidence were
made on 8 January and 19 April 1999 respectively. They were disposed of on 25 January and 19 April 1999 respectively.
Oral argument on the three appeals was heard by the Appeals Chamber from 19 to 21 April 1999. On 21 April 1999, the Appeals Chamber reserved its judgement.
For reasons to be given, judgement on the Sentencing Appeal will be delivered at a later date. The present judgement relates to the Appellant's Appeal against Judgement and the Prosecutor's Cross- Appeal against Judgement.
