TWO PARLIAMENT COMMITTEES ACCEPT GOVT BILL ON COOPERATION BETWEEN CROATIA AND ICTY

CROATIA AND ICTY ZAGREB, Feb 27 (Hina) - At today's session, the Croatian Parliament Committee for Legislation and the Committee for Judiciary accepted in principle the Government Bill on cooperation between Croatia and the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Members of the two committees demanded, however, that the Government demand that a regulation of the Statute of the International Court be changed so that the perpetrators who are under the jurisdiction of The Hague Court could be sentenced according to sentences which are provided for in the countries in which they had committed criminal acts.
