Amendments to the Rules of the STL

2^min

The Judges of the STL have approved some amendments to the Tribunal's Rules of Procedure and Evidence (RPE). There were a limited number of changes, which clarified the existing rules especially in relation to victims. These include:

The Prosecution, Defense and the Victims' Participation Unit (VPU) can make submissions on requests from victims wishing to participate in the proceedings. Submissions are limited to legal issues to protect the confidentiality of victims' applications.

The Pre-Trial Judge will decide on the grouping of victims wishing to participate in the proceedings. This decision cannot be appealed.

It will now be easier for victims who participate in the proceedings to also appear as witnesses before the Tribunal.

The Judges also decided that the Prosecution must immediately inform the Head of the Defense Office about the arrest of a suspect or an accused. This will strengthen the rights of the Defense.
