Presiding Judge’s signature on behalf of the Bench

Notion(s) Filing Case
Decision on Motions to Annul and Reconsider - 27.09.2011 NAHIMANA et al. (Media case)
(ICTR-99-52B-R)

NOTING Mr. Nahimana’s submission that the Decisions of 22 April 2008 and 30 June 2010 should be annulled because they are signed exclusively by Judge Pocar and thus do not evince that the remainder of the Bench participated in the deliberations;

CONSIDERING that, in accordance with the consistent practice of the Appeals Chamber, the Presiding Judge signs decisions on behalf of the Bench after the conclusion of deliberations on a motion;

FINDING, therefore, that Mr. Nahimana’s argument that the Decisions of 22 April 2008 and 30 June 2010 be annulled on the basis that they were signed exclusively by the Presiding Judge lacks merit;

[1] Motion [Ferdinand Nahimana v.
