[Since 1994, the world witnesses the horrifying Tutsi minority (14%) ethnic domination, the Tutsi minority ethnic rule with an iron hand, tyranny and corruption in Rwanda. The current government has been characterized by the total impunity of RPF criminals, the Tutsi economic monopoly, the Tutsi militaristic domination, and the brutal suppression of the rights of the majority of the Rwandan people (85% are Hutus)and mass arrests of Hutus by the RPF criminal organization =>AS International]

N.D.L.R: 

America’s secret role in the Rwandan genocide


United Nations Security Council resolution 955, adopted on 8 November 1994, after recalling all resolutions on Rwanda, the Council noted that serious violations of international humanitarian law had taken place in the country and, acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, established the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR).^[1]

The Security Council appreciated the work of the Commission of Experts established in Resolution 935 (1994), and expressed its concern at reports of genocide and other widespread violations of international humanitarian law had taken place in Rwanda. It stated that the situation constituted a threat to international peace and security and was determined to put an end to such crimes and bring those responsible to justice in order to restore peace. The Council believed that the establishment of an international tribunal would ensure that such violations are halted and addressed. In this regard, the need for international co-operation to strengthen the judicial system in Rwanda was stressed.

Rwandan rejection

1. The period covered by the tribunal, from 1 January to 31 December 1994, was inadequate and should be changed to the period of the Rwandan Civil War, from 1 October 1990 to 17 July 1994. Rwanda argued that this was necessary to include the alleged planning phase of the genocide.
2. That there were too few Trial Chamber judges, and that the tribuneral should get its own Appeals Chamber and Prosecutor, as opposed to sharing those entities with the ICTY.
3. The tribuneral ought to focus on the crime of genocide, instead of “dispers[ing] its energy by prosecuting crimes that come under the jurisdiction of internal tribunals.”
4. That “certain countries, which need not be named here” and which “took a very active part in the civil war” should not be allowed to “propose candidates for judges and participate in their election.”
5. That those prosecuted by the tribunal could be imprisoned in third countries, which would “be given the authority to reach decisions about the detainees”, something that ought to be for the “International Tribunal or at least for the Rwandese people to decide.”
6. That the ICTR rules out death penalty, which is provided for in the Rwandese penal code, thus creating a “disparity in sentences”.
7. That the seat of the tribuneral should be in Rwanda. The Rwandan delegation “was surprised to see that the authors of the draft still hesitate to indicate where the future seat of the Tribunal will be.”

 The Truth can be buried and stomped into the ground where none can see, yet eventually it will, like a seed, break through the surface once again far more potent than ever, and Nothing can stop it. Truth can be suppressed for a “time”, yet It cannot be destroyed. ==> Wolverine
