Below is the full text of the ICDSM's motion, filed with The Hague Tribunal on 5 November by Nico Varkevisser.
The motion contains our proposals for solving the life-threatening health crisis brought on by the ICTY's abuse of Slobodan Milosevic.
For more on that, please see the article, "Hague Tries Quietly to Murder Milosevic; His Defense in Financial Crisis" at

The Tribunal responded to our motion by fax. Their response will be posted some time later today, November 12th, at http://emperor.vwh.net/icdsm/more/it-122.htm
In their response, the ICTY stated that our motion did not follow proper procedures for applying for amicus status, as laid out in UN rule IT/122.
We were unable to find this rule IT/122 on the Website of the International Tribunal for Yugoslavia. Thus the ICTY has introduced a new legal concept, the non-public rule of procedure. This concept may be further developed by Mr. Franz Kafka.
In their communication, the ICTY fortunately included the text of the mysterious Rule 122. We have therefore written and submitted a second motion, which we will make available to you shortly.
During the proceedings on Monday, November 11th, the ICTY judges discussed with Mr. Milosevic, Prosecutor Carla del Ponte's motion to force unwanted counsel on the Yugoslav leader.
We will post a full report on that discussion. Suffice it to say, here, that the ICTY's argument is: Slobodan Milosevic is physically at risk because of the trial; therefore in his own interest he must be partly or entirely denied the right to defend himself. In other words, Mr. Milosevic, whose cardiac condition is affected by stress, is to be forced to sit and watch while his defense is mishandled.
The ICDSM has proposed an entirely different way to safeguard Milosevic's health. This is contained in the motion below. We are now trying to raise the funds needed to hold a press conference in The Hague, including a legal expert. If you can help financially, now is the time to do it. Donations can be made by going to
