Per Ref A, we delivered points regarding US judge Mark
Painter's bid for a seat on the UN Appeals Tribunal to Sanela
Papa in the Human Rights Division at the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs on February 27. Papa said that she had initially
recommended to Foreign Minister Sven Alkalaj that Bosnia
support U.S. Judge Marilyn Kaman's candidacy, but recently
learned that Judge Kaman had withdrawn her candidacy. In
light of this development, Papa said she recommended that
Bosnia back Judge Painter. Papa noted that she expects
Foreign Minister Alkalaj to decide on the matter and for
Bosnia's UN Mission to receive instructions by Monday, March
¶2.
