On May 21, 2014, the Appeals Chamber of the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals [3] (the Chamber) denied [3] the appeal of Radovan Stanković against the decision of the Referral Bench of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to dismiss his request to return his case to the ICTY. Stanković, a former member of the Miljevina battalion, was indicted by the ICTY in 1996 and faced charges of crimes against humanity and violations of the laws or customs of war. The ICTY transferred [4] his case to the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in 2005, the Appellate Panel of which sentenced him to 20 years' imprisonment. According to the press briefing [5], the Chamber “concluded that the Referral Bench correctly considered it would be contrary to the Rule 11bis of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure and Evidence [6] to revoke a referral order after the legal proceedings in the State concerned have been completed.”
