It's an ICC/Special Court holiday.

Madam President, I cannot give you a response to that now.

Madam President, when I was referring to the P4, I wasn't referring to Duty Counsel, I was referring to a P4 international investigator.

With respect, Madam --

Madam President, my recommendation was that an interim counsel is appointed, sufficiently experienced interim counsel, but assisted by these former legal assistants because of their knowledge of the case for continuity purposes. Unless I can assist you further, Madam President.

Before Mr Khan left, Madam President, he had a fully constituted team. The co-counsel left before he left, but there were at least two legal assistants attached to the team.

Madam President, if I leave the co-counsel and lead counsel, again, there are other members of the team, if I may go on. There are the legal assistants. I wish to stress, therefore, continuity. It may be better to integrate some of the old team with whichever new counsel is ...

Madam President, if you allow, I would like to make a preliminary remark before I respond.

The issue of adequate resources and facilities has been a long and protracted one. Your Honours issued a decision on the 23rd of January, 2007, on these issues and expressed satisfaction that the Registry ...

You are, Madam President.

Thank you, Your Honours. I will convey your concerns.

Your Honour, with respect, this was a matter again taken at The Hague working group in Freetown and there was a representative of Chambers at the meeting.

We will look into it, Madam President, as you have indicated. I only add one caveat which is that the parties were consulted when the arrangements were being done and this is just a very late request. The Prosecution was consulted; the office of the Principal Defender was consulted. It ...

Yes.

I agree, Madam President, but again there will be huge financial implications and we have already entered into a particular agreement which we will be changing at the last moment since this Court is configured to be ready in about two weeks.

Yes, Madam President, if I may clarify briefly. I share my friend's submissions on the immense benefits on the Livenote system. Although my friend has just addressed one point out of the three or four that I mentioned concerning the finances and the logistics, there are other issues there ...

Your Honour, with respect, I am not in a position to give a guarantee as to what the ICC will provide but I can agree that we will have a decision, a final decision well before the start of the trial.

Yes, Your Honour. They have not refused to give us the facility and they are working on providing us with rooms for the parties. It's just that they have difficulty with the accommodation at the moment and at the moment they are unable to accommodate us. The minimum they ...

I share Your Honours' concerns and the concerns of all the parties but the ICC have very limited accommodation as well, but as I speak, we are still working very hard to at least obtain conference facilities or storage facilities for all of the parties.

I will avoid the B word, Madam President. I will use our best endeavours to procure the equipment.

Chamber legal officer, Your Honour; one for each of the parties; one for each of the Judges; one for the Court Management section; one for the interpreters; and one for the stenographers.

I have just been corrected, Your Honour. Initially it was to be three legal officers and now I have been told the copies will now be about eight: One for the legal officer; one for each of the parties.

Your Honours, I do have the breakdown. It's for the legal officers who will be three in total. There will be a copy for each of the --

Before I talk about Livenote, Your Honours, if you permit me, on the question of filing of exhibits, if I may go back to that issue, when the parties are providing the copies, if they could please supply 15 copies so that we can serve them on the legal officers ...

Madam President, if I may respond instead of the Chief of Court Management.
