UN weighs closure of Arusha genocide tribunal mechanism
Assistant Secretary-General and Registrar of the IRMCT, Abubacarr Tambadou, lays a wreath at the memorial monument during the 32nd commemoration of the Rwanda genocide at the EAC headquarters in Arusha. Members of the Rwandan community from Arusha and Kilimanjaro attended.
The United Nations Security Council is considering closing the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) in Arusha.
The Council is expected to deliberate on the future operations of the Arusha-based mechanism, which has been in operation for 16 years, and may either close it or transfer its remaining functions elsewhere.
