(a) Each individual defendant in custody shall receive not less than 30
days before trial a copy, translated into a language which he
understands, (1) of the Indictment, (2) of the Charter, (3) of any other
documents lodged with the Indictment, and (4) of a statement of his
right to the assistance of counsel as set forth in sub-paragraph (d) of
this Rule, together with a list of counsel. He shall also receive copies
of such rules of procedure as may be adopted by the Tribunal from time
to time.
(b) Any individual defendant not in custody shall be informed of the
indictment against him and of his right to receive the documents
specified in sub-paragraph (a) above, by notice in such form and manner
as the Tribunal may prescribe.
(c) With respect to any group or organization as to which the
Prosecution indicates its intention to request a finding of criminality
by the Tribunal, notice shall be given by publication in such form and
manner as the Tribunal may prescribe and such publication shall include
a declaration by the Tribunal that all members of the named groups or
organizations are entitled to apply to the Tribunal for leave to be
heard in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of the Charter.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to confer immunity of any
kind upon such members of said groups or organizations as may appear in
answer to the said declaration.
(d) Each defendant has the right to conduct his own defense or to have
the assistance of counsel. Application for particular counsel shall be
filed at once with the General Secretary of the Tribunal at the Palace
of Justice, Nuremberg, Germany. The Tribunal will designate counsel for
any defendant who fails to apply for particular counsel or, where
particular counsel requested is not within ten (10) days to be found or
available, unless the defendant elects in writing to conduct his own
defense. If a defendant has requested particular counsel who is not
immediately to be found or available, such counsel or a counsel of
substitute choice may, if found and available before trial, be
associated with or substituted for counsel designated by the Tribunal,
provided that (1) only one counsel shall be permitted to appear at the
trial for any defendant, unless by special permission of the Tribunal,
and (2) no delay of trial will be allowed for making such substitution
or association.
