1. The procedure

The request for a Session on the environmental, health and human rights implications 
of the Chernobyl disaster was presented in late 1995 by the "International Medical 
Commission on Chernobyl" (IMCC) in response to growing medical, scientific and 
Human Rights concerns over the extraordinarily narrow definition of "damage to 
health" and "certainty of knowledge" being used by the international nuclear 
community to describe the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster.
According to its statutes, the PPT notified the acceptance of the request as well as 
the timing and modalities of the procedures of the session to the United Nations (UN), 
the European Union (EU), the World Health Organisation (WHO), the International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the International Commission on Radiological 
Protection (ICRP). A prompt answer and a set of pertinent documentation was 
received from the Department of Humanitarian Affairs of the UN; an answer 
requesting to be informed on the results of the session from WHO, a note proposing 
the postponement of the hearings of the Tribunal "after the results of the Conference 
in Vienna (8-12, April) have become available" from the IAEA.

The following experts and witnesses presented oral as well as written evidences to 
the PPT, and were available for answering to the questions of the Judges:

Dr. Gianni Tognoni, Secretary of the Permanent Peoples' Tribunal (PPT), Italy 
History of the Permanent Peoples' Tribunal, and its Concern for Human Rights 
of Victims of industrial and technological disasters.

Prof. Rosalie Bertell, Coordinator of the International Medical Commission 
Chernobyl (IMCC), Canada Questions before the Tribunal on the Chernobyl Disaster.
