France's top appeals court on Wednesday ruled that the alleged 1994 Rwandan genocide financier Felicien Kabuga should be transferred to a UN tribunal in Arusha, Tanzania, to stand trial.

Kabuga, who had been on the run for 25 years and stayed briefly or lived in several countries in Africa and Europe, was arrested near Paris in May.
