Frederik Harhoff
 |
Frederik Harhoff (born May 27, 1949) is a Danish jurist. He was born in Copenhagen. He was a member of the faculty of the University of Copenhagen. He served as an ad litem judge for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia from January 9, 2007 to August 28, 2013. After acquittals of mid-level Serbian suspects in war crimes trials, Harhoff circulated a letter to colleagues stating that the higher bar for convictions in this case was established by ICTY Chief Justice Theodor Meron, and strongly hinted that Meron was acting on behalf of the U.S. and Israel in enacting the policy. The Harhoff letter was highly controversial when it was leaked to the press, and Harhoff was disqualified from a separate war crimes trial for being set on conviction regardless of evidence, later departing the ICTY when his term of office was not renewed there.
