RWANDA IN A FINAL BREATHLESS FIGHT TO DENY HERSELF.
Many thanks indeed to Mr Ledrian for going to the point and pinpoint what is wrong with another UN Rwanda chapter today.
The desperate move before the UN by Rwanda to attempt to convince the high-level delegate representative members of the Security Council that Rwanda can outsmart the world over in lying, forging false testimonies and selling a reality that never was and shall never be may not move mountains any more.
The lame attempt by Rwanda today to negotiate the granting of powers to keep the UN Criminal Courts' archives can not work unless three conditions are met.
1) That the totality of the the SC team deciding today is made up of clueless personalities who have lost any track of political realities of the world in general and of the region in which Rwanda is located in particular.
2) That the majority of members vested with overwhelming powers to influence the final decisions are all sellouts malleable to Rwanda classical pernicious fabrications.
3) That the mechanism that enabled Rwanda to always come out of the biggest winner despite the overwhelming evidence suggesting otherwise may still be at work.
We believe in and stand to strenuously fight a the UN System not corrupt in its entirety.
That is why we contend that the strategies, ruses and methods used by Rwanda in the past are long overdue. Alongside, we stand for a firm belief there's no such a thing like a whole UN System falling for a band of extremely evil people who have decided to rule the world only through lies, tawdry seductions, blackmail and terrorism.
So there's still hope despite the all too human weaknesses of any human institution.
Therefore, the Rwanda plea today won't be saved.
If the SC rules for Rwanda then brace for the beginning of a slow but steady demise of the old UN-led monopolar power.

ARE THE UN CRIMINAL COURTS THERE TO DELIVER JUSTICE OR THEY REMAIN RELEVANT FOR THE SAKE OF HIGH-STAKE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC INTERESTS?
This point echoes grave remarks transpiring in a conversation between Phil Taylor (Of the Taylor Report radio emission) and his host David Jacobs, a former attorney to the International Criminal Court for Rwanda (ICTR).
Here's a link for the complete radio interview.
"The Taylor Report - https://t.co/qeLvCWhyfs" https://t.co/NTQNpuvXLz
The Attorney's remarks remain what various senior-level UN criminal courts' Judges and Counsels at different moments in time refused to reckon with.
That the UN Criminal Courts, both for Rwanda and the ex-Yougoslavia, went astray off the fundamental mission of a tribunal court.
In line with the #StandFourOurParents' campaign, there's a huge striking point to hammer, over and over again until the absolutely ludicrous UN justice system is amended and stands for the principles for which it was established and deliver justice for all.
Effectively, in the June 22 Taylor Report's radio emission, the former attorney minces not his words when testifying about his experiences with the UN ICTR judiciary works.
According to him, the ICTR which was initially designed to serve justice through enforcing delivery of fair courts' sentences grew up to become
"A CASE IN POINT" (an embodiment) of "POLITICAL INTERFERENCE".
With respect to Rwanda, in contrast to claims of due processes, the judiciary processes largely proved to be a miss.
Put otherwise, the ICTR left behind a legacy of total disaster. A judiciary tragedy brought about by a lame yet mighty international justice system.
These are the claims of a former attorney having experienced first hand the day-to-day operational incongruencies of an international body investing heavily in keeping a lid on its dark processes.
Worse still, he is not alone in holding such allegations. There's a handful of similar corroborating assertions that went public starting with as early as 2000.
Here, we retain some of the most poignant declarations made by people who were directly involved in the works of the ICTR tribunal.
For example, for the late Christopher Black, the Rwanda Patriotic Front, i.e., the current Rwanda regime, committed crimes which were shielded from international investigations.

Other declarations reinforce the previou narrative. They altogether hammer the same message: the corruption of the UN Courts.

Back to the earlier gambit, one ought wonder what's wrong with the international system. Why did the culture of impunity inside a critical UN institution for international order have to linger on for so long despite obvious evidence it was rotten right from the start? More importantly, what to release our people still trapped inside a not only corrupt system but potentially a deadly one?
In reference to previous observations, today, the UN Courts can hardly prove they are there to provide justice to the innocent ones. Instead, the motives behind its broad motives invite for increased scrutiny. Yet, the UN Security Council still holds the key to reversing the disastrous trajectory. Let's hope that might come with tomorrow deliberations.
That was the main motivation to stand up and raise our voices to emphasize that our people are yearning for a fair justice since a long time. Tomorrow, the Security Council's session should stand up with us, be bold and reckon with the system past disastrous failings. The backlog of harmful injustices incurred by our innocent families is enormous.

Rwanda is not an option. Justice must be served for all. Dignity for all.

One year has already passed since the arrest and imprisonment of Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, one of Rwanda's most prominent opposition leaders. Her unlawful detention is a reflection of the broader crisis of civic space, political freedom, and the rule of law in #Rwanda.
For decades, Ingabire has advocated for democratic reform, political pluralism, national dialogue, and nonviolent change. She has consistently rejected violence and promoted peaceful political participation.
In her own words she once said "It is possible to build a Rwanda governed by the rule of law, where no Rwandan is persecuted for expressing their political views."
Today she remains behind bars, facing politically motivated charges. Her imprisonment raises a fundamental question: What future exists for democracy in Rwanda when peaceful opposition is treated as a criminal offense?
Thank you to @LantosFndn, @hrf and @freedomnoworg for condemning the ongoing detention of Rwandan opposition leader, @VictoireUmuhoza, and for calling for her immediate release. #FreeVictoireIngabire #Africa #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners
RWANDA IS NOT AN OPTION. DECLARATIONS OF THE ACQUITTED PERSONS .
The persons acquitted by the International Criminal Court for Rwanda (ICTR) categorically refuse to be relocated to Rwanda.
In a response to requests submitted to the Judge of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) by the acquitted persons under house arrests in Niger, Judge Joseph E. Chiondo Masanch provides the grounds on which the acquitted persons refuse to be duped by the Rwanda promises.
It is important to highlight that the IRMCT Judge responded positively to their submissions to request additional subsistence resources due to the soundness of their claims.
As the IRMCT Judge recalls, the acquitted persons under house arrest in Niger do not buy in the diplomatic assurances or guarantees provided by Rwanda.
Altogether, they express objective and personal fears of being subjected to serious violations of their rights once in the country.
To substantiate their positions, they argue as follows:
1) Some have got names still figuring on lists of genocidaires that the Rwandan Government regularly establishes.
2) Some have been the target of hostile campaigns from Rwanda officials, institutions and media including the infamous IBUKA Association of genocide survivors on top being cited in numerous reports, researchers, studies and social media publications.
3) There exists a narrative of collective guilt propagated by the Rwandan Government.
4) Others expressed concerns that Rwanda never forgives its enemies. In this framework, they hold a firm conviction that the only fate awaiting them once relocated is death.
5) Last and not least, of recent the Rwandan Government made a public declaration whereby the relocation of acquitted prisoners to third-party safe countries was branded as a threat to national security.
Against this background, granting Rwanda the permission to take custody of the Niger's acquitted persons would be a violation of the free consent principle provided by international law on relocation of prisoners and acquitted persons.
In view of the above statements, we urge the UN Security Council to live up to the established laws while deliberating on the fate of our people still under the IRMCT custody.

Anyone interested in universal justice should be alarmed by this case. The recent unexplained death of Rwandan dissident Aimable Karasira makes clear that Rwandan prisons are not safe, trial after trial highlight the politicised nature of Rwandan justice. 1/2

Appeal to members of the UN Security Council to oppose the Rwanda's plea to take custody of the detainees of the former ICTR tribunal, now IRMCT and related archives ahead of the Security Council Meeting slated for June 25th.

Please stand up and raise voices with us to appeal and urge members of the UN Security Council to nullify the plea to keep the former ICTR tribunal archives and take custody of all persons convicted, acquitted or released by the ICTR, including those cleared of all charges. Because it simply violates international laws and it puts the UN Security System in an awkward position where the eventually System proves to be working against its own resolutions.
As families of the detainees and acquitted persons, the Stand For Our Parents Movement is committed to raising our voices with an aim to mobilize you all Rwandans, friends of Rwanda and many other supporters around the world so that together we send a strong appeal message to the members of the UN Security Council and urge them to categorically reject the plea by the Government of Rwanda to take the detainees of the former ICTR tribunal and together with all related judiciary archives.
In virtue of established international laws, failing to do so the UN Security Council proves to be liable of infringing the very rules by which it claims to remain relevant as a highly reputable UN institution.
Therefore, we formally oppose their transfer (deportation) to Rwanda for the following underlying motives:
Granting Rwanda the right and privileges to take them would not only be a blatant violation of the principles of international laws but most importantly it would send a signal that the UN Security Council is disavowing its own Resolution 2740 (2024) and the IRMCT own directive of May 07, 2025.
As a matter of fact, numerous credit worthy Human Rights Organizations have in recent years pointed out grave concerns about the persistent state of blunt violation of human rights in Rwanda including enforced disappearance, extrajudicial arrests and incarcerations and violation of fundamental human freedoms. Amnesty International (2024) and the Human Rights Watch (2025).
It is in this context that we strongly object for the transfer of our people to Rwanda merely because there are well-founded fears their transfer to Rwanda would be a violation of the principles of non-refoulement, the principle of informed consent and the "Non bis in dem" principle which prohibits to try or punish a person twice for the same acts, also popularly known as the double jeopardy situation. Else, suffices it to recall that Rwanda remains one of the parts to the still non resolved conflict. Therefore, this disqualifies the country as a neutral part that can be entrusted with the current judiciary cases of the detainees once the UN IRMCT mechanism is over.
Besides, in regard of the reality of the flawed justice system prevailing in Rwanda, Stand For Our Parents (SFOP) Movement defends that Rwanda currently does not fulfill the required conditions to be granted this right. There are justified fears that the detainees would be exposed to inhuman treatment and degrading life conditions consistent with available reports produced by numerous reputable human rights organizations.
Consequently, we urge members of the UN Security Council to nullify any proceedings whatsoever aimed at granting Rwanda the right to host both the IRMCT detainees and judiciary archives.
Please stand up with us and help us raise the awareness about the plight of the IRMCT detainees and advocate for the improvement of their current living conditions as the relevant UN bodies statute for their ultimate fate going forward.
Please RE-TWEET to as many friends and supporters as possible.

Several Council members spoke for the rule of law on Friday.
The rule of law means this: men a UN court acquitted are not handed to a place they fear.
On 25 June, let the principle hold.

Les archives du TPIR contiennent des témoignages livrés sous protection — des témoins de toute la région des Grands Lacs.
Elles ne doivent pas être remises à une partie aux conflits qu’elles documentent.
