UN war crimes judges rule that Rwanda's ageing suspect Felicien Kabuga, who was accused of genocide against the Tutsis, is unfit to stand trial but should still undergo a stripped-down legal process
UN war crimes judges have ruled that Rwanda's ageing suspect Felicien Kabuga, who was accused of genocide against the Tutsis, was unfit to stand trial but should still undergo a stripped-down legal process.
The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals said in an order on Wednesday that"Kabuga is unfit to participate meaningfully in his trial and is very unlikely to regain fitness in the future."They instead proposed an"alternative finding procedure that resembles a trial as closely as possible, but without the possibility of a conviction.
Captured in Paris 2020 after two decades on the run, wheelchair-bound Kabuga went on trial last September but judges said medical experts had now found that he has"severe dementia".
