The Intermediaries
Posted by alejandro on 26 08 2010 | Comments
The role of intermediaries has become a critical issue in the trial against Thomas Lubanga. For months, they have been the target of allegations made by Defence witnesses in relation to their corrupt role in this case. The judges then decided to call two individuals -intermediaries 321 and 316- to respond to the claims that they assisted Prosecution witnesses in falsifying evidence.
The Chamber also ordered the Prosecution to confidentially disclose to the Defence the identity of a third person, Intermediary 143. The disclosure became the subject of a clash between the Prosecution and the Chamber.
The intermediaries are individuals who helped prosecutors to identify potential witnesses.
