    Charges
    In 1999, charges on sexual violence were withdrawn even before the start of the trial. The Prosecutor withdrew the rape amendment of the indictment, which had yet to be ruled over by the Judges. In October and November of 2000, however, evidence of rape and other sexual violence was brought forth in the case following testimonies of two prosecution witnesses. In February 2001, an amicus curiae brief was filed by the Coalition for Women’s Human Rights in Armed Conflict Situations, asking the court to invite the prosecutor to consider amending the indictment by adding charges of rape and sexual violence. After receiving the brief, the Chief Prosecutor announced that she would add charges of sexual violence in the indictment or bring a separate indictment on sexual violence crimes only.
