Building on initial concerns about the ICC’s approach to evidence in the Bemba et al. Appeals Chamber judgment, Chiara Loiero, Legal Assistant at Amnesty International’s Centre for International Justice, criticizes the ICC’s emerging practice of deferring any consideration on admission of evidence until deliberating the judgment.
Legal Adviser Jonathan O’Donohue provides an initial reaction to last Thursday’s summary judgment by the ICC Appeals Chamber confirming the conviction of five persons for offences against the administration of justice in the Bemba case.
Chiara Loiero, Legal Assistant at Amnesty International’s Centre for International Justice, considers the ICC Appeals Chamber’s recent decision to reject Laurent Gbagbo’s notice of appeal against Trial Chamber I’s latest refusal to grant him interim release during his trial.
