\nArusha, August 20, 2010 (FH) - The United States Ambassador at Large for War Crime Issues, Stephen Rapp Monday starts a two-day visit at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) charged with prosecuting main perpetrators of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\nA program released by ICTR Press and Public Affairs Unit indicates that Ambassador Rapp, among other things, would meet with various senior officials of the Tribunal, including its President Judge Dennis Byron, Registrar Adama Dieng and the Prosecutor, Hassan Jallow.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe program states that Ambassador Rapp, who is also the former ICTR Chief of Prosecution, would also meet the judges and the legacy committee responsible for charting out the way forward after the closure of the Tribunal.\n<\/p>\n
\nAmong the issues still under discussion is the legacy of the UN court.\n<\/p>\n
\nOne of US State department's main concern is the arrest of former Rwandan businessman Felicien Kabuga, still on the run.\n<\/p>\n
\nDuring his last visit to the Tribunal in February, Rapp said he had information that Kabuga was still in Kenya though the authorities maintained he had left the country.\n<\/p>\n
\nProsecutor Jallow on his side claimed that Kenyan authorities had provided him with no proof of his departure despite several requests.\n<\/p>\n
