On June 25, 2014, both the Defense and the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) in the Prosecutor v. Germain Katanga case gave notice of the discontinuance of their appeal before the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (the Court) against the judgment (French language only) rendered by Trial Chamber II on March 7, 2014 (see this previous ILIB post). According to the press release, Germain Katanga “accepted the judgment of the Court and its conclusions on its role as well as his conduct,” and also indicated that he did not intend to appeal against the sentence imposed on him by the Court in its judgment (French language only) of May 23, 2014. Trial Chamber II will render a decision in due course on “the possibility of reparations to victims of the crimes for which Germain Katanga was convicted.”
