  • Genocide in Rwanda: the Search for Justice 15 Years On
    Genocide in Rwanda: The search for justice 15 years on. An overview of the horrific 100 days of violence, the events leading to them and the ongoing search for justice after 15 years. 6 April 2009 | The Hague On the fifteenth anniversary of the plane crash killing former President Habyarimana which sparked one-hundred days of Genocide in Rwanda slaughtering over 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, the Hague Justice Portal reflects on some of the important decisions, notable cases and remaining gaps in the ICTR’s ongoing search for justice. On 8 November 1994, seven months after the passenger plane carrying President Juvénil Habyarimana was shot out of the sky on the evening of April 6 1994 triggering Genocide in the little-known central African state of Rwanda, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 955 (1994) establishing the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). The tribunal is mandated to prosecute “persons responsible for genocide and other serious violations of international humanitarian law”1, with its inaugural trial commencing on January 9 1997. According to Trial Chamber I, delivering its Judgment in this first case against a suspected génocidaire, “there is no doubt that considering their undeniable scale, their systematic nature and their atrociousness” the events of the 100 days subsequent to April 6, “were aimed at exterminating the group that was targeted.”2 Indeed, given the nature and extent of the violence between April and July 1994, it is unsurprising that the ICTR has been confronted with genocide charges in nearly every case before it. Within hours of the attack on the President’s plane roadblocks had sprung up throughout Kigali and the killings began; the Hutu Power radio station, RTLM, rife with conspiracy, goading listeners with anti-Tutsi propaganda.

  • Social Media and Accountability in the Cases Concerning Core Crimes
    157 Social Media and Accountability in the Cases Concerning Core Crimes sWaPnil sharMa* Abstract: In these last years a dramatical increase in the use of cyber space has led to an important change also in criminal activities, emphasizing the weaknesses of actual legal frameworks in facing modern crime issues. Crime in the digital era can be more advanced due to technological in- struments, moreover the modern world assists to the exponential growth of new types of crimes such as the evolving cybercriminality. With a par- ticular regard to the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court work, the issue which is discussed in this paper is whether the present legal structure is sufficiently efficient to deal with the problems pertai- ning to cyberspace, or whether new and updated laws and jurisprudence are needed. This research is supplemented by a case study examining the potential legal aspects of a situation where the ICC may have to deal with a case of multilayered crime. In the end, the public element of incitement is examined with reference to genocide, analyzing the effects of practical application of place factor and medium factors in the social media era. Keywords: Cybercrime, Rome Statute, International criminal justice, Ac- countability, Social Media. Table of contents: 1. Introduction. – 2. Understanding Cyber Jurisprudence. – 2.1. Deriving the Definition of Cyber Jurisprudence. – 3. Framework of International Criminal Justice System and its Efficiency in the Context of Technological Deve- lopment. – 3.1.

    The Prosecutor v. Simon Bikindi, Case No. ICTR-01-72-T Judgement and Sentence – 2 December 2008 1. Trial Chamber III will now render its judgement in the case of The Prosecutor v. Simon Bikindi. The Chamber will read out a summary of the Judgement. The written judgement is the authoritative version and will be distributed after this hearing. 2. Simon Bikindi is a Rwandan citizen born on 28 September 1954 in Rwerere commune, Gisenyi prefecture, Rwanda. In 1994, he was a famous composer and singer and was working at the Ministry of Youth and Association Movements of the Rwandan Government. On the basis of an Indictment confirmed on 5 July 2001 and the related orders for arrest and transfer, he was arrested in The Netherlands on 12 July 2001 and transferred to the Tribunal on 27 March 2002. His trial commenced on 18 September 2006 and closed on 7 November 2007, with a site visit in April 2008, followed by the closing arguments in May 2008. 3. Simon Bikindi is charged with six counts pursuant to Articles 2, 3 and 6(1) and (3) of the Statute of the Tribunal: conspiracy to commit genocide; genocide or alternatively complicity in genocide; direct and public incitement to commit genocide; murder and persecution as crimes against humanity. More specifically, the Prosecution alleges that Simon Bikindi participated in the anti-Tutsi campaign in Rwanda in 1994 through his musical compositions and speeches he made at public gatherings inciting and promoting hatred and violence against Tutsi. According to the Prosecution, Simon Bikindi collaborated with government figures, leading figures of the MRND, the CDR, the Interahamwe as well as with RTLM and those responsible for media programming, to disseminate anti-Tutsi propaganda and encourage the genocide.

  • And Since Akayesu? the Development of Ictr Jurisprudence on Gender Crimes: a Comparison of Akayesu and Muhimana
    CHENAULT MACRO FINAL 12/2/2008 6:16:36 PM AND SINCE AKAYESU? THE DEVELOPMENT OF ICTR JURISPRUDENCE ON GENDER CRIMES: A COMPARISON OF AKAYESU AND MUHIMANA SUZANNE CHENAULT∗ INTRODUCTION The first judgment of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), Prosecutor v. Jean-Paul Akayesu, heralded the legacy of the Tribunal in prosecuting crimes of sexual violence. The judgment was ground-breaking in several aspects, most significantly for articulating a conceptual definition of rape under international law and for convicting a defendant of rape as both a crime against humanity and as an instrument of genocide.1 In light of the consistent reliable evidence that sexual violations were widely and systematically perpetrated throughout Rwanda during the 1994 genocide, gender crimes prosecutions at the ICTR have thus far been inadequate. Despite the legacy of the Akayesu judgment in promoting progress in the prosecution of sexual violations in the context of mass violence and armed conflict, relatively few persons have been convicted by the ICTR for a sex-related crime.2 To date, there have been only eight ∗ Suzanne Chenault is a legal officer in the Chambers of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

Akayesu, Case No. ICTR 96-4-T, Judgment, ¶¶ 685-95, 730-34 (Sept. 2, 1998). 2. Convictions for sexual violations, including rape, have been issued and upheld on appeal for the following four persons to date: Jean-Paul Akayesu, Laurent Semanza, Sylvestre Gacumbitsi, and Mikaeli Muhimana.
