In yesterday’s issue of The New Times, we published the story; Archives for UN Genocide tribunal to remain in Arusha. We would like to clarify that the United Nations Security Council resolution to host the archives in Arusha is for the Resdue Mechanism period that is expected to last about 4 years, starting July 2012. The Resdue Mechanism was put in place to deal with pending issues that remain after closure of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTY).During the Resdue mechanism period, the ICTR archives will be hosted in Arusha and those for the ICTY in the Hague.After this period – once all the pending cases are closed – a final decision on where the archives will be hosted, will then be made.Editor
