European court’s decision should be emulated by all

Last week’s ruling by the European Court of Human Rights, to transfer a Genocide suspect to Rwanda, should serve as an example to countries which are still reluctant to take similar decisions on fugitives living within their own jurisdictions. The European court threw out an appeal by Sylivere Ahorugeze, upholding an earlier decision by a Swedish court which had ruled that Rwandan justice system fulfilled all the requisite standards to ensure fair trial.
