Furthermore, the ICTR news service has limited human resources and only broadcasts short press releases, in French and in English, providing information on the Tribunal's agenda and major decisions.
In this context, the IDTA's role is crucial in informing the Rwandan population in particular and the international public in general. Hirondelle News Agency is the only press organ covering ICTR trials on a daily basis and in four languages -- English, French, Swahili and Kinyarwanda. To ensure that its production is widely disseminated, the IDTA has developed many partnerships with regional and international media.
