Maybe Not

Well, maybe the international side of the PTC's bench's chastisement of the way the OCIJ dealt with the defense (Sary + Noun)'s request of an investigation into the allegations of interference with the administration of justice made by the defense wasn't the "graceful exit" I had suggested earlier after all. OCIJ's Investigating Judge Marcel Lemonde accounced his resignation a mere 6 days after the issuance of the said PTC opinion. Was it a knee jerk reaction on the judge's part or the last straw is for historians of the process to ascertain. What is clear is that the international section of the Chambers is experiencing a very high turnover in its upper echelon which is unlikely to be attributable to any other factors than frustration.
