André Rwamakuba, Case No. ICTR-98-44C-T 2/87 Judgement 20 September 2006 INTRODUCTION 1. This Tribunal has the authority to prosecute persons responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law, including genocide and crimes against humanity, committed in the territory of Rwanda and Rwandan citizens responsible for such crimes committed in the territory of neighbouring States, between 1 January 1994 and 31 December 1994.1 Under Article 2 of the Statute, genocide is an act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such. 2 The crime against humanity is defined as a crime committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against any civilian population on national, political, ethnic, racial or religious grounds.3 2. The Appeals Chamber has held that genocide against Tutsi and widespread or systematic attacks against a civilian population based on Tutsi ethnic identification occurred in Rwanda between April and July 1994 are facts of common knowledge not subject to reasonable dispute.4 As the Appeals Chamber recalled, this ruling does not lessen the Prosecution’s burden of proof: it must still demonstrate that the specific events alleged in an Indictment constituted genocide or a crime against humanity and that the conduct and mental state of an Accused establishes his culpability for such crimes. 3. The Accused, André Rwamakuba, was born in 1950 in Nduba, Gikomero commune, Kigali rural préfecture. He is qualified as a doctor having studied at Butare

The figure of President Juvenal Habyarimana, whose 21-year rule, along with the unofficial network based around his wife and family, the Akazu, has been largely marginalised. Yet to understand April 1994 requires a far longer-term understanding. Those responsible had grown their power, influence and ambition for decades inside every part of Rwandan society after seizing power in their coup of 1973; they had estab- lished personal and highly lucrative bonds with European and North American coun- tries, financial institutions and the Vatican, all of whom variously assisted with finan- cial, political, diplomatic and military support from 1973 into 1994. This chapter seeks to outline how Akazu built its powerbase, influence and ambition in the two decades before 1994 and the failure of its international backers to respond to repeated warning signs of a tragedy foretold. Keywords genocide – Akazu – Habyarimana – Parmehutu – Network Zero The official Independence Day celebrations that got underway on Sunday 1 July 1973 came as Rwanda teetered on the edge of an expected coup. Eleven years after independence the one party regime of President Grégoire Kayiban- da was imploding.

    Court of Remorse Inside the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda

    Court of Remorse Critical Human Rights Series Editors Steve J. Stern Scott Straus Books in the series Critical Human Rights emphasize research that opens new ways to think about and understand human rights. The series values in particular empirically grounded and intellectually open research that eschews simplified accounts of human rights events and processes. In Court of Remorse, Thierry Cruvellier offers a nuanced and complex under- standing of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, a central post– Cold War human rights institution that helped to establish a now common pattern of creating justice mechanisms to account for past human rights atroc- ities. The atrocity in question is the Rwandan genocide of 1994 in which more than half a million civilians were killed. Cruvellier is one of the most knowl- edgeable outside observers of the court, having watched proceedings and interviewed key actors day after day for nearly a decade. In Court of Remorse, Cruvellier draws on these daily observations to render a subtle, eloquent, and intelligent account of the tribunal, and in so doing he helps us understand a critical human rights institution in new and profound ways.

    The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the Rwandan Genocide Courts

    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 1, Issue 1 | 1997 Judicial Responses to Genocide: The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the Rwandan Genocide Courts PAUL J. MAGNARELLA Abstract: Following Rwanda's 1994 appalling eruption into genocide, the UN Security Council, having created an international criminal tribunal for humanitarian law violators in the European States of the former Yugoslavia, decided it could do no less for African Rwanda. Because the Rwandan conflict was internal rather than international, the statute for its tribunal complements rather than replicates that of its Yugoslavian counterpart. The statute for the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda contains a number of legal innovations; as a result, it will contribute significantly to the development of the humanitarian law of internal armed conflict. In addition to analyzing these innovations and the creation of the Tribunal, this article briefly discusses the background to the genocide and Rwanda's own attempts at judicial justice. Background Following the assassination of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana by unknown assailants on April 6, 1994, Rwanda burst into horrifying violence resulting in the murder of about 800,000 people (mostly Tutsi), the uprooting of about two million within Rwanda's borders, and the exodus of over two million (mostly Hutu) to the neighboring countries of Zaire, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda1. Soon after Habyarimana's death, extremist Hutu militias, the Presidential Guard, and the Hutu-dominated national army unleashed a systematic campaign of murder and genocide against hundreds of moderate and opposition Hutu and all Tutsi. Rwanda had been Africa's most densely populated country, with rural peasants constituting the bulk of its inhabitants2.
