Based on medical examinations of President Milosevic by three > doctors on November 4, 2005, including Dr. M.V. Shumilina, an angiologist > from the Bakoulev Center, Dr. L.A.

International law-and in particular, the International Covenant > for Civil and Political Rights-- prescribes, and the ICTY's own Rules of > detention guarantee, the rights of prisoners to be " treated with humanity > and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person". Throughout > the course of legal proceedings, accused are presumed innocent, and those > deprived of their liberty are to be treated in a manner "appropriate to > their status as unconvicted persons". President Milosevic remains untreated > in the face of Dr. Shumilina's conclusion that his medical treatment at the > United Nations Detention Unit is "inadequate". Incredibly, despite his > history of heart problems and high blood pressure, no vascular diagnoses had > been made before November 4, 2004. Yet President Milosevic's health has > been a major concern in the proceedings for the past three years. The > stress of the proceedings, the inadequate medical care and the prison > conditions have severely worsened his prior health problems endangering his > life. > > The Trial Chamber has taken no action to protect the life of a > prisoner whose physical condition has been found to be critical. Instead > it has trivialized its duty to assure adequate and necessary medical care > for a person being tried before it. Detainees who require special treatment, > as does President Milosevic, must be transferred to specialized institutions > for that treatment, as set out by the. Standard Minimum Rules for the > Treatment of Prisoners, adopted by the First United Nations Congress on the > Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders. > > The Trial Chamber astonishingly proclaims: > > 1. "That neither Dr. Shumilina nor Dr. Bockeria states that the Bakoulev > Center is the only possible location for appropriate diagnosis and treatment > of the accused's condition." What conceit could lead them to such a boast? > They doubtless believe their Center is the best and such a conclusion is > justified. No confidence can be placed in the medical choices of the Court > authorities after their years of neglect and selection in December 2005 of > Dr. Aarts, a Dutch neurological radiologist, who found no pathological > condition in President Milosevic and made no recommendations for treatment. > > 2. That it "...accepts the submission of the Prosecution that if the > Accused wishes to be treated by specialists who are not from the > Netherlands, such physicians may come here to treat him."
