Introduction

The Case Law Database (“CLD”) is a gateway to the jurisprudence of the ICTR, ICTY, and IRMCT Appeals Chambers.

It provides direct access to extracts of key judgements and decisions rendered by the ICTR, ICTY, and IRMCT Appeals Chambers since their inception, as well as to full-text versions of the corresponding appeal judgements and decisions.

Users can conduct quick searches by notions, cases names, titles of filings, date (in year-month-day format), statutes, rules, and other instruments through the “Basic Search” page. In addition, refined searches in all fields of the database can be conducted through the “Advanced Search” feature.

Please note that the CLD does not include confidential decisions and restatements of established case law and does not necessarily contain all notable rulings by the Appeals Chambers of the ICTR, the ICTY, and the IRMCT. For exact numbering of footnotes, refer to full documents.

The CLD is a living tool and its content is being regularly updated. Please help us improve the service by using our feedback form.

25. […] Accordingly, the Appeals Chamber concludes that it has the power to reconsider the Decision Accepting Withdrawals in the same way that it has the power to reconsider other decisions that do not constitute judgements on the merits.[1] show footnotes [1] This conclusion is supported by the Barayagwiza Decision [Jean-Bosco Barayagwiza v. Prosecutor, Case No. ICTR-97-19-AR72, Decision (Prosecutor’s Request for Review or Reconsideration), 31 March 2000]. There, in considering a case that had been finalized through means other than a judgement on the merits, the Appeals Chamber neither indicated that reconsideration lay outside its power nor suggested that there was an unusually heightened standard for reconsideration. Barayagwiza Decision para. 73 (simply rejecting the motion for reconsideration on the merits). Download full document
