UN court orders independent review after ex-general's death

(1 Dec 2017) The UN's Yugoslav war crimes tribunal launched an independent review into the court's "internal operations" around the dramatic death of a Croat former general who swallowed what he said was poison in the tribunal's courtroom and later died. Nenad Golcevski a spokesman of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia said its review will complement an ongoing Dutch investigation into the death of Slobodan Praljak. Praljak drank from a small bottle seconds after an appeals judge at the tribunal had confirmed much of the 72-year-old former Bosnian Croat military commander's conviction and his 20-year sentence for crimes during the 1992-95 Bosnian war. Soon after he passed away in the emergency unite of the Medical Centre The Hague Westeinde. The tribunal review will begin next week by Hassan Jallow, a former prosecutor with the UN's Rwanda war crimes tribunal. Golcevski said, "We are in close contact with Dutch prosecutor who is conducting the investigation and we providing the full cooperation to Dutch authorities regarding their investigation." Praljak was convicted in 2013 of crimes including murder, persecution, and deportation for his role in a plan to carve out a Bosnian Croat ministate in Bosnia in the early 1990s.
