Mustafa appeal case: Panel specifies modalities for victims’ participation

On 15 February, the Court of Appeals Panel denied a Defence motion seeking the exclusion of Victims’ Counsel from participating in the pre-appeal conference on 16 February and from the appellate proceedings in the Mustafa case in general. Finding that there is a legal basis for the participation of victims, through Counsel for Victims, in these appellate proceedings, the Panel adopted the modalities for victim participation in this case, which are set out in the decision.
