The Court handles appeals fromboth the ICTR and the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia(ICTY). Jean Kambanda was Prime Minister of the Rwandan interim government whichheaded the country during the 1994 genocide. He was sentenced to lifeimprisonment on September 4th, 1998, after pleading guilty to genocide andcrimes against humanity. But in February this year, Kambanda asked toretract his guilty plea. He said the Appeals Court should overturn the TrialCourt\u2019s verdict and order a full trial. In a hearing before the Appeals Court on June 27th, Kambanda claimed that hehad been forced to plead guilty against his will. \u201cI was aware of the factscontained in the so-called plea agreement [concluded with the prosecution],\u201dhe told the Appeals Court, \u201cbut some of them seem to me so inaccurate that Ireject the whole thing. \u201dUN Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte of Switzerland has asked the Appeals Court toconfirm Kambanda\u2019s life sentence. The former Prime Minister is detained inThe Hague. He is defended by Dutch lawyer Tjarda Eduard van der Spoel.
