About this statute

This article defines terms used in the law, including ICTR and the Mechanism. This provision says the Law deals with transferring cases from ICTR, the Mechanism, and other States to Rwanda, and with admitting evidence gathered by those bodies and other States in competent Rwandan courts. This article says which case-transfer and extradition matters the law covers. The High Court is the competent court for first-instance trials of cases transferred to Rwanda. The Court President may also choose a panel of three or more judges, assisted by a court registrar, based on the case’s complexity and importance. Cases transferred from the ICTR and the Mechanism to Rwanda may be prosecuted only for crimes within the ICTR’s jurisdiction.
