* Ambassador Clint Williamson is Chief Prosecutor for the EU Special Investigative Task Force. Formerly a Special Expert to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, he has served as the U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues, the Director of the Department of Justice in the UN Mission in Kosovo, and a Trial Attorney at the ICTY from 1994 to 2001.
* Indicative of this was a telephone call Arbour received from U.S. Special Envoy Richard Holbrooke shortly after we arrived in Skopje; Holbrooke said that Arbour should stay where she was as her presence there was putting incredible pressure on Milošević.
* Despite the unified front in support of Walker, some outside observers criticized him for having exceeded his role as a neutral monitor and for, in fact, using the events at Račak as a pretext to press for military action.

* Hartmann describes an analogous process working in reverse in the post-Milošević trials of Belgrade-based figures, who were described as part of a broader joint criminal enterprise or JCE under Milošević in his trial, but as subordinated to Bosnian Serb leadership in their own trials and in Karadžić.
* Surroi describes the earlier meeting, at 222-224.
* The victims whose names were known are listed in Kosovo Indictment, Schedule A.
† Contrast this approach with how, in her chapter, Del Ponte describes her decision-making process for the Bosnia phase genocide charges, which were also the subject of debate with the Prosecution.
* See Trix at 246 and 555, n. 95 for a critique of the indictment’s choice to adopt Serbian nomenclature and the Usage Note at xxiii-xxv for further discussion of the issue.
