The Association of Defence Counsel Practising Before the ICTY (ADC-ICTY) has published its newsletter no. 75.

This edition covers the recent cases in Prli? et al., the Defence cases in Mladi? and Hadži? and the final briefs in Karadži?. In Karadži?, after the Trial Chamber denied the

Defence motion to strike the Prosecution’s final brief, the case is now reaching its final stages. The Defence closing arguments will be held from 29 September to 2 October and will be followed by the rebuttal and rejoinder arguments on 7 October, with an expected verdict in October 2015.

The newsletter looks back at various decisions or judgments rendered years ago by the ICC, the ICTR and the ICTY but keeps us up to date as well with the current proceedings in front of the Bosnian Constitutional Court, Croatian courts and the ICC in the Gbagbo case. The newsletter also provides an analysis on the Role and Future of Extremists Groups in the Region in relation to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
