It has banned Mr. Christopher > Black from any communication with President Slobodan Milosevic and has, > without explanation, refused Mr. N. Steijnen further access to President > Milosevic. Other members of President Milosevic's team of legal advisers > are limited to very rare contacts, depending on the humour of the > 'tribunal,' which never permits free and unmonitored communication and free > exchange of documents with President Milosevic. Mail between members of the > legal team and President Milosevic is intercepted and opened, whether it is > confidential not, and often simply vanishes. > > Under these conditions how can attorneys conduct legal work? > > President Milosevic's team of lawyers has officially informed the European > Court that since our work has been blocked by the puppet tribunal's > interference, therefore we are forced to suspend work until the puppet > tribunal ends its violations of our client's human right to an unfettered > defence. > > The puppet tribunal's human rights abuses, in defiance of the European > Court of Human Rights, has caused this deadlock. To break this deadlock, > President Milosevic has ordered legal action. To that end, a summary > injunction procedure has already been filed at the District Court of The > Hague against the relevant parties: the ICTY itself and the State of the > Netherlands. > > The demand to all parties is: uphold your responsibility to safeguard human > rights. Present a solution that will end these severe human rights > violations in the field of defence rights.
