Commenting on General Huffman's article in the spring volume of the Military Law Review, in which the author reviewed the ICTY Trial Chamber's judgement against the two generals, Markac's lawyer Goran Mikulicic said after today's status conference in The Hague that "it is a very good article" and in line with the positions presented by General Gotovina's defence team in the course of the trial.
Asked by reporters whether Huffman's analysis might produce any effect on the Appeals Chamber, Gotovina's lawyer Greg Kehoe said that the court always considered analyses made by third parties about its judgements. He said that he expected Huffman's analysis to reach the Appeals Chamber.
Huffman wrote that the Trial Chamber's ruling concerning the charge of excessive shelling had no basis in international law and practice.
