Abstract
What the requirements of a common plan or design for the purpose of joint criminal enterprise were, and whether the Trial Chamber erred in concluding that they could not be pleaded alternatively. Whether a duplicitous count had to be necessarily quashed. Whether inconsistencies in the testimony of a witness undermined the witness’s credibility. Whether the Trial Chamber erred by restrictively interpreting the prohibition against ‘Other Inhumane Acts’ to exclude forced marriage and other sexual crimes. Whether the principle against cumulative conviction prohibited compound conviction from being entered for multiple charges in a single count.
