ZAGREB, Aug 10
(Hina) - Croatian general Mladen Markac's attorney
before the Hague war crimes tribunal, Goran Mikulicic, said on Friday
Markac's defence team had joined a brief filed by general Ante
Gotovina's defence team which disputes the competence of the
tribunal's Appeals Chamber in considering alternative modes of the two
generals' liability because this matter was not the subject of the
appeals.
The brief is now a joint filing, Mikulicic said.
In the brief, Gotovina's defence requested that the Appeals Chamber find that it is not competent in the matter of the two generals' alternative modes of liability, and recalled that under the tribunal's rules, the Appeals Chamber was competent in considering only matters under appeal.
