The hearing has been convened at the initiative of Judges
Claude Jorda and Fouad Riad, who confirmed the inducements against
the two accused on 25 July 1995 and 16 November 1995, respectively.
The indictment charges the accused with genocide, crimes
against humanity, grave breaches and violations of the laws and
customs of war and for atrocities committed against the civilian
population of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The judges considered that a reasonable time has elapsed since
the indictments were served and asked the Prosecutor to publicly
display the evidence supporting the indictments against the
accused, the statement said.
