Thaçi et al.: Panel approves withdrawal of Ben Emmerson as Kadri Veseli’s Counsel

On 21 August 2024, the Trial Panel in the Thaçi et al. case approved the termination of Ben Emmerson's role as Kadri Veseli's Counsel. Both Veseli and Emmerson agreed to this decision, leading the Panel to approve the termination due to good cause. The Panel was also satisfied that the continuity of Veseli’s representation will be ensured and that the change of Lead Counsel will not result in any delays in the proceedings.
