The Milošević Trial at the Halfway Stage: Judgement on the Motion for Acquittal

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 December 2004

Abstract

On 16 June 2004 Trial Chamber III of the ICTY issued a judgement on a motion for dismissal of charges in the Milošević case. Brought forward by the amici curiae appointed by the trial chamber, the motion for acquittal achieved limited success. While some allegations were dismissed, particularly with respect to the Bosnia Indictment, overall, the trial chamber found that the prosecution had led sufficient evidence to support each of the counts challenged in the three indictments against the accused. This article highlights some of the significant developments in the trial's first two years and the issues raised in the motion for acquittal, as well as the trial chamber's determination.
