Extradition and ICTR transfers to Rwanda

Posted by: NickDonovan in Rwanda on Print PDF

Sweden has; the UK, France, Germany and Switzerland haven't.  The ICTR prosecutor would like to, the Appeals Chamber disagrees.  I'm referring of course to the transfer or extradition of Rwandan genocide suspects back to Rwanda to face trial.  Such proceedings have all been affected by concerns about the fairness of any trial.  

Not touching on fair trial issues, the ICLS have published a very useful note on Rwanda's Transfer Law - of interest to any lawyer or diplomat considering the nuts and bolts of transfer and extradition.
