Florence Hartmann, former ICTY spokesperson, has been fined for leaking ICTY documents improperly.

It looks as if the Serbian authorities in Belgrade handed over the documents to ICTY on condition that they were used only for the war crimes trial of Slobodan Milosevic, and not passed on to the International Court of Justice to be used in a quite separate case brought by Bosnia and Herzegovina alleging that Serbia itself was guilty of war crimes. And that ICTY accepted this arrangement.

If so, Hartmann committed a serious breach of professional trust and might be thought to have been let off lightly.

Ms Hartmann has an interesting and not necessarily disinterested background, having (we are told) married the son of a former Croat senior communist secret-policeman.

Just the sort of dispassionate independent person ICTY needed for that key spokesperson slot?
