About this statute

This article ratifies the agreement on enforcing ICTR sentences and says the agreement covers matters and requests related to enforcing those sentences. Several officials are tasked with implementing this Order, and the Registrar and the Government of Rwanda have specific steps to follow for a sentence-enforcement request. Rwanda’s competent national authorities must enforce Tribunal sentences for the full sentence length in a prison or facility agreed by the parties, under Tribunal supervision. The Registrar must arrange transfers of convicted persons and notify them of the agreement; if the Tribunal later requires the person to testify, the person may be sent back temporarily and must return within the Tribunal’s set period. A person who has already been tried by the Tribunal cannot be tried again by a court of the Government of Rwanda for the same acts.
