Who will finally try Michel Bagaragaza, accused of genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) but also a key prosecution witness in certain trials in Arusha [IJT-36]? After the failed attempt to try him in Norway [IJT-41], the ICTR, on August 17, canceled its April order transferring him to the Netherlands [IJT-67]. Three weeks earlier, the Dutch legal system had declared itself incompetent to try another Rwandan, Joseph Mpambara. The Hirondelle agency quoted Bagaragaza's lawyer as saying "the [ICTR] prosecutor indicated to the defense that he would request that the Bagaragaza trial be heard by a local Rwandan court in Kigali, and that such would be the only possible option for Bagaragaza, unless he signed an agreement to plead guilty." In 2005, Bagaragaza had agreed to work with the ICTR prosecutor in exchange for his trial being transferred to a European country.
