    Kabgayi case - RPF prosecution - Impunité
    This, I think, raises a much larger issue which I would like to have on the agenda. What I am going to say is known to most of you, but I think we need to put this on the agenda. As I said, it’s a major general, I would say, almost an ethical weakness. This morning during his open remarks, President Byron said, and I quote you almost textually, "Crimes cannot be committed on the State with impunity." This is the message given by the ICTR. That is what you said this morning. I would say, yes, that is only partly true, if committed by the victor, these crimes can be committed by (...)

    Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Good morning to all the participants. We are certainly pleased to be here to brief you on what we have been doing and to hear from you, where you think we may have done well, where you think we should be going. The 2nd Session, of course, the day before yesterday, raised a lot of issues for the Office of the Prosecutor. Some of the issues listed in the agenda were not, I believe, quite dealt with sufficiently. I will try to give my responses to some of the questions and the comments raised, and also my views on some of the agenda items for the session (...)

    Kabgayi case - RPF prosecution
    Thank you. I just wanted to respond to two points actually raised by Prosecutor Jallow. The first was that he stated on June 4th in front the Security Council he told them that investigative work is still ongoing but that he didn’t have any indictments ready. That simply isn’t true. There have been no investigations ongoing. In fact, there’s been no budget for investigations for at least two years. So I’m quite surprised by that assertion, because it simply isn’t true. The second one with respect to the case that went forward in Rwanda, Prosecutor Jallow said he had no indication from any of (...)

    Kabgayi case - The plane - Completion strategy - Transferts
    Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Responses to a couple of issues, starting the completion strategy. I think there are a couple of lessons we can draw from the way the completion strategy has operated. One of them obviously is that it may have come too late in the day. Yesterday in the discussions we stressed the need, when there is an intervention in a particular situation, for a determination of what one’s objectives are, what are you trying to accomplish, within what time frame do you want to do that. So in that sense, I can see the need for a completion strategy as and when one enters a (...)

    Kabgayi case - RPF prosecution
    Thank you, Mr. Vincent. You have properly pronounced my name. In French it is pronounced Reyntjens or something like that. This will not come as a surprise to Bill Schabas, I think that his demonstration was actually quite unconvincing, and I would say at least for three reasons. The first is that the comparison made with Nuremberg and post‑Nazi Germany is simply not realistic in the sense that the Nazi regime was not succeeded by a another criminal regime. And that is pretty different in Rwanda. The current Rwandan regime, after the period of the genocide and its committing crimes (...)
