\nThe cost of centres are 213 000 Euros (270 000 USD) financed by the European Union.

\nThe initiative, which comes 14 years after the creation of the ICTR, will make it possible to fill the gaps of the population in regards to information on the ICTR and to the population and researchers, to have access to the legal documents", said Roland Amoussouga, Spokesperson of the Tribunal, during a press conference.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe project of information and documentation centres dates back to 2000, when the first Umusanzu mu bwiyunge Center was inaugurated in downtown Kigali. The center has a library with audio-visual, a reading room and a computer room with internet access.\n<\/p>\n
