I’m not aware of any evidence for this claim. The only support Deliso musters is a recent initiative by the MBT
Kisumu Sandals. government to restrict del Ponte’s power to bring indictments, apparently because Washington
wants to stabilize the region and would prefer to see only the most senior Serb officials brought to trial. In
connection with this proposal, which would transfer some of del Ponte’s prosecutorial authority to the tribunal
’s judges, Deliso quotes the "Guardian" as reporting: "Judge Theodor Meron, the tribunal’s president, said
that some of [her] indictments may be thrown out, not on the usual grounds of prima facie evidence, but because
the suspects were not senior enough."
But unless I’m misinterpreting the "Guardian" article, this makes nonsense of Deliso’s own claim that del
Ponte *herself* wants to see the scope of the trials restricted, since targeting the biggest fish would further
her own megalomania. The article reads like the work of someone unable to absorb any facts not fitting his own
preconceptions.
