Rwanda: UN employees suspected of involvement in genocide
2006-06-30
(SomaliNet) The story of RwandaÂ’s genocide is yet to settle. This time round, the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) has got information that 12 of its employees had a role to play in the Rwanda genocide. "We should be ready with our findings around August," Everard O'Donnell, the acting deputy registrar of the Rwanda tribunal said, at the headquarters of the UN court in Arusha, Tanzania.

RwandaÂ’s government already presented the names of the 12 suspects to the tribunal. Rwanda government earlier noted that some members of the tribunal probing the Rwanda genocide were among those who killed Rwandans in 1994. The government in Rwanda revealed its fear that this would jeopardize the investigations and guilty Rwandans would be left scot-free. "We welcome the investigations but we want International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to expedite the investigations," Alloys Mutabingwa, RwandaÂ’s government representative to the ICTR said.

This is not the first time people suspected of involvement in RwandaÂ’s genocide have been part of the investigative team. Simon Nshamihigo served as a prosecutor in South Western Rwanda till he was convicted for involvement in a genocide that left many Rwandans dead.

#4  RB had an article, original in French, posted awhile back directly linking de Villepin to Rwanda'a genocide, too, but the UN seems to be the common denominator in most of the world's woes.

Good gawd, is there no depth to the misery the UN causes? This is the first I've heard of this charge, and I'm always skeptical about named-names (the 12 mentioned in this article), but good grief....if true, we need to vow NEVER AGAIN (as in, never using U.N. to solve issues).
