UN appeal judges toss out plan to set up procedure to hear evidence against Rwandan genocide suspect
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Appeals judges on Monday threw out a decision by a United Nations court to set up a procedure to hear evidence against an elderly Rwandan genocide suspect who was declared unfit to face trial. The decision likely means that Félicien Kabuga's trial, which started last year in The Hague, will never be completed. The judges acknowledged this would be a blow to victims and survivors of Rwanda's 1994 genocide. Judges at the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals halted Kabuga's trial in June because he has dementia and could not properly participate in the proceedings.
