Observer, Mar. 1, 2011 Google Scholar, http://internationallawobserver.eu/2011/03/01/functional-immunity-at-the-icty/ (expressing the prosecution’s view in Prosecutor v. Gotovina that granting “absolute” functional immunity would permit defense counsel to “violate domestic criminal laws with impunity”). But see Prosecutor v. Gotovina, Case No. IT-06-90-AR73.5, Decision on Gotovina Defence Appeal Against 12 March 2010 Decision on Requests for Permanent Restraining Orders Directed to the Republic of Croatia, ¶ 34 (Int’l Crim. Trib. for the Former Yugoslavia Feb. 14, 2011), available at http://www.icty.org/x/cases/gotovina/acdec/en/110214.pdf (countering the prosecution’s argument by reasoning that functional immunity does not apply to acts performed in ones personal capacity).

27 Cf. ICTR Statute, supra note 16, art. 29(4); ICTY Statute, supra note 16, art. 30(4); Rome Statute, supra note 17, art.48; Gotovina, Case No. IT-06-90-AR73.5, ¶¶ 19, 28 (recalling the Trial Chamber’s recognition that Article 30(4) of the ICTY Statute does not explicitly grant functional immunity to defense counsel nor contain an explicit reference to the Convention).

28 The appeal hearing for Ntabakuze was originally set to commence on March 30, 2011, but the ICTR Appeals Chamber legally severed Ntabakuze’s case from the cases of Bagosora and Nsengiyumva due to Erlinder’s unavailability. See Int’l Humanitarian Law Inst., ICTR Rules Not All MIL-1 Appeal Cases are Legally Linked, Medical Symptoms Prevent Defense Lawyer’s Attendance, World News J. Blog (Apr. 1, 2011)Google Scholar, available at http://africannewsanalysis.blogspot.com/2011/04/ictr-rules-not-all-mil-1-appeal-cases.html (explaining that Erlinder is currently being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder due to his detention in Rwanda).

29 See Gotovina, Case No. IT-06-90-AR73.5, ¶¶ 27-28 (citing Bagosora, Decision of Oct. 6, 2010, ¶¶ 19, 26) (holding that members of the defense, which include defense investigators, enjoy functional immunity as is necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the tribunal pursuant to Article 30(4) of the ICTY Statute); see also Bagosora v. Prosecutor, Case No. ICTR-98-41-A, Decision on Aloys Ntabakuze’s Motions for Video-Conference Participation of Lead Counsel in the Appeal Hearing and for the Withdrawal of Registrar’s Public Decision (Mar. 15, 2011) (citing Bagosora, Decision of Oct. 6, 2010, ¶¶ 22-26) (upholding Erlinder’s immunity from arrest or detention during his forthcoming travels to Tanzania for the appeal hearing because such journey constitutes an act performed in the course of Erlinder’s role as defense counsel). But see Prosecutor v. Ntabakuze, Case No. ICTR-98-41-A, Waiver of Presence of Counsel and Co-Counsel at Hearing, and Confirmation of Counsel’s Medical Unavailability, Arising from Detention by the Rwandan Government, ¶ 19 (Mar. 29, 2011) (asserting that the ICTR’s ruling of limited functional immunity on October 6, 2010, cannot prevent a sovereign state such as Tanzania from arresting a defense counsel).
