Today, Oxford University Press released a book entitled Legacies of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia - A Multidisciplinary Approach. This edited volume represents the most comprehensive publication to date on the legacy of International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and provides a broad perspective on the contributions of the ICTY to law, memory, and justice.
The Mechanism Office of the Prosecutor confirms today the death of Augustin Bizimana, one of the major fugitives alleged to have been a senior leader of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. This confirmation is based on the conclusive identification of Bizimana’s remains in a grave site in Pointe Noire, the Republic of the Congo.
Today, Félicien Kabuga – one of the world’s most wanted fugitives who is alleged to have been a leading figure in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda – was arrested in Paris by French authorities as the result of a joint investigation with the IRMCT Office of the Prosecutor.
In reaction to today’s arrest, Mechanism Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz stated:
The arrest of Félicien Kabuga today is a reminder that those responsible for genocide can be brought to account, even twenty-six years after their crimes.
