ICTR: Jurisprudence and the blunting of justice

Something legally intriguing is happening at the International Crimainal Tribunal of Rwanda (ICTR in Arusha. There were two acquittals in as many days this week at the court. The judges in the case of Protais Zigiranyirazo popularly known as ‘Z’, said that the Trial Chamber committed serious errors in its judgment delivered in December 2008 which handed down a sentence 20 years to the 71-year-old suspect. As for Fr. Hormisdas Nsengimana, the grounds were “insufficient factual and legal basis.”
