Judge Carmel Agius, Acting President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, issued a decision assigning Judge Mandiaye Niang to the Bench in the case of Prosecutor v. Vojislav Šešelj, following the disqualification of Judge Frederik Harhoff from the Bench in August 2013.  According to the press release, Judge Agius also urged the Trial Chamber to “consult with the Accused on whether to rehear the case or continue the proceedings with the newly appointed Judge,” as provided for in the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure and Evidence.  Vojislav Šešelj, the leader of the Serbian Radical Party, is being prosecuted for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed between 1991 and 1994 in the former Yugoslavia.  The Trial Chamber had previously scheduled the judgment to be delivered on October 30, 2013, though it has since postponed the delivery date until further notice.
