Statute overview

About this statute

This article creates three Gacaca courts: Cellule, Secteur, and Appeal. The provision sets up Cell, Sector, and Appeal Gacaca courts and sets rules for who makes up the Cell court assembly and when cell jurisdictions must be merged. This article amends the prior law on Gacaca courts and sets the territorial jurisdiction of the Cellule, Secteur, and Appeal Gacaca courts. Some people cannot be elected to Gacaca court seats, and people on the presumed-genocidaire list cannot vote or be elected as persons intègres; however, people who only committed property offenses may vote. This article changes how certain Gacaca courts are merged, re-formed, and managed.
