| | | | Jovica Stanisic was arrested on 13 March 2003 by the Serbian authorities and transferred to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on 11 June 2003.
At his initial court appearance on 13 June 2003, he pleaded not guilty to all of the counts of crimes against humanity and violations of the laws and customs of war with which he was charged.
Jovica Stanisic was originally indicted with Franko Simatovic (See “Related Cases”) on 1st May 2003. On 9 December 2003, the Bill of Indictment was modified. A second modified Bill of Indictment was adopted on 20 December 2005.
According to the Indictment, Jovica Stanisic is under trial on the basis of his individual criminal responsibility (Art. 7 § 1 of the ICTY Statute) for:
- Four counts of crimes against humanity (Art. 5 ICTY Statute – persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds; murder ; deportation; inhumane acts (forcible transfer));
- One count of violations of the laws and customs of war (Art. 3 ICTY Statute-murder).
On 9 December 2004, Jovica Stanisic was given provisional release following a decision by the First Trial Chamber on 28 July 2004, a decision which was then confirmed by the Appeals Chamber on 3 December 2004. In a decision dated 6 February 2008, the First Trial Chamber suspended his release order as of 11 February 2008.
The trial of Jovica Stanisic has been joined with that of Franko Simatovic and was scheduled to begin on
10 March 2008. It was postponed to 17 March 2008.
On 17 March 2008, the start of the trial was postponed for a second time after Stanisic was diagnosed with depression.
On 16 May 2008, the Trial Chamber adjourned proceedings due to Stanisic's health condition for a period of at least three months and granted him provisional release. The prosecutor appealed this decision.
On 27 June 2008, the Appeals Chamber confirmed his provisional release. | |    | | Trial Watch would like to remind its users that any person charged by national or international authorities is presumed innocent until proven guilty. | |  |  | | nationality : | | | Serbia and montenegro | | | date of birth : | | | 30.07.1950 | | | last time seen : | | | The Hague, Netherlands | | | period of charges : | | | 01.04.1991 - 31.12.1995 | | | charges : | | | Crimes against humanity
