The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda: the politics and pragmatics of punishment

Article Abstract:

The Rwanda International Criminal Tribunal may be a huge step in the evolution of international criminal law. The Tribunal was established with the support of Rwanda's government who recognized the international nature of genocide, the need for proper international adjudication, and the desire to transform the culture and prevent a reoccurrence. Although only a small number of the 60,000 suspects arrested will ever be prosecuted, the combined efforts of the Tribunal and national courts will be a symbolic factor in fostering national reconciliation.

Surrender of fugitives by the United States to the War Crimes Tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda

Article Abstract:

The US legislation implementing international agreements on the surrender of Rwandan and Yugoslavian war crimes suspects does not conflict with US constitutional protections for fugitives. These US constitutional protections are not absolute. The American surrender scheme is based on bilateral extradition models but employs a lower standard of evidence in order to facilitate and speed the process.
