The ICTR was based in Arusha, Tanzania and is now closed. It was set up to deal with Rwanda\u2019s genocide during the 1990s in which more than 800,000 mainly Tutsis were killed in a few short weeks and months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We discuss the context with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HolaBarbora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barbora Hola<\/a>, researcher and Associate Professor at the Vrije University Amsterdam, and we asked <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_Kate_Gibson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kate Gibson<\/a>, the recently-elected President of the Association of Defence Counsel before the International Courts and the lawyer of one of these Rwandan men, how it could all go so wrong. She explains how they were either acquitted by that court or released after serving their sentences.&nbsp;They didn\u2019t want to go back to Rwanda. But couldn\u2019t find a state to accept them. After a long time in Arusha, the seat of the now defunct ICTR, the follow-up institution \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irmct.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the United Nations International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT)<\/a> \u2013 did a deal with Niamey. And the men agreed to go there, expecting to get passports and an opportunity to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that deal has come unstuck at the expense of the health and well-being of these men. They\u2019ve been stuck in a house in Niger for more than a year, with armed guards and no way to get out. And the UN\u2019s IRMCT \u2013 which still has a president, prosecutor, registrar and roster of judges \u2013 doesn\u2019t seem to be dealing with it. Meanwhile, there are also a load of people who are in jail in Mali and Benin serving their sentences for genocide and other crimes having been sentenced by the ICTR who may be due for release at some time. So where will they go?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"articleLink articleLink--editorRecommanded articleLink--textInImage articleLink--textTop\" style=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"articleLinkSurTitle\">Recommended reading<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<a class=\"articleLinkImageLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/93462-punishment-stateless-ictr-migrants.html\"><div class=\"articleLinkImageContainer \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rwanda_house-desert_@JusticeInfo-540x360.jpg\" class=\"articleLinkImage backgroundImageTag w-100 wp-post-image\" alt=\"Illustration of a villa lost in the desert.
