ICTR has used the victims as mere extras to justify the creation and aggrandizement of something called universal justice, which is neither universal nor justice, but geopolitics by pseudo-juridical processes.
Editor,
RE: "Africa must set an example in dealing with Genocide fugitives” (The New Times, September 21).
The ICTR has contributed nothing to restorative justice for the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
It has used the victims as mere extras to justify the creation and aggrandizement of something called universal justice, which is neither universal nor justice, but geopolitics by pseudo-juridical processes.
And to top it all the ICTR has not dealt with France’s complicity in the Genocide it was supposedly set up to deal with, compounding this failure by referring some cases of Genocide suspects to France, the very country that enabled and abetted that Genocide.
And anyone has the gall to speak of international justice!
