The Democratic Republic of Congo has filed a case against Rwanda at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing it of crimes of genocide against the Congolese people.

#UN must not fail #Rwanda a second time #Rusesabagina

[Jean-François Le Drian @JF_LE_DRIAN]

At a time when the Kigali regime’s image is being durably tarnished by the war crimes and crimes against humanity it is committing in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Paul Kagame senses that the impunity enjoyed by the Inkotanyi regime for over thirty-five years is on the verge of collapsing.

This is precisely why Rwanda is desperately fighting today to recover the archives of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR).

These archives contain a massive and damning volume of testimony that directly implicates the RPF in numerous mass crimes and establishes Paul Kagame’s personal involvement in the 6 April 1994 assassination of President Juvénal Habyarimana — the spark that ignited the genocidal fury which claimed the lives of approximately 500,000 Tutsi inside the country.

There is absolutely no question of the RPF being allowed to get its way.

These documents must be preserved, protected from destruction, and remain fully accessible to the ICTR, researchers, and jurists.

Only their accessibility will allow the truth about all the crimes committed — regardless of their origin — to finally come to light.

It is time to make all these archives public, while rigorously protecting the identity of the inconvenient witnesses whom the Kigali regime would not hesitate to eliminate.

Today, the total and immediate declassification of all documents held by every country possessing intelligence records, covering the period from 1 October 1990 to the end of the Second Congo War, stands as a fundamental demand of justice, truth, and memory.

👉 En Français 🇫🇷

À l’heure où le régime de Kigali voit son image durablement ternie par les crimes de guerre et contre l’humanité qu’il commet en République démocratique du Congo, Paul Kagame sent que l’impunité dont bénéficie le régime inkotanyi depuis plus de trente-cinq ans est sur le point de s’effondrer.

C’est précisément pour cette raison que le Rwanda s’époumone aujourd’hui pour tenter de récupérer les archives du Tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda (TPIR).

Ces archives renferment un volume massif et accablant de témoignages qui impliquent directement le FPR dans de nombreux crimes de masse et qui établissent l’implication personnelle de Paul Kagame dans l’attentat du 6 avril 1994 contre le président Juvénal Habyarimana – l’étincelle qui a déclenché la fureur génocidaire qui coûta la vie à environ 500 000 Tutsi de l’intérieur.

Il n’est absolument pas question que le FPR obtienne gain de cause.

Ces documents doivent être préservés, protégés de toute destruction et demeurer pleinement accessibles au TPIR, aux chercheurs et aux juristes.

Seule leur accessibilité permettra que la vérité sur tous les crimes commis – quelle qu’en soit l’origine – éclate enfin au grand jour.

Il est temps de rendre publics l’ensemble de ces archives, tout en protégeant rigoureusement l’identité des témoins gênants que le régime de Kigali n’hésiterait pas à éliminer.

Aujourd’hui, la déclassification totale et immédiate de tous les documents détenus par tous les pays disposant de notes de renseignement, couvrant la période du 1er octobre 1990 jusqu’à la fin de la Deuxième Guerre du Congo, constitue une exigence fondamentale de justice, de vérité et de mémoire.

We are in the Hague to vehemently oppose the plea presented by Rwanda in a previous UN Security Council Meeting to take custody of our people of which the UN IRMCT, the institution that took over from the former ICTR tribunal, is in charge.

We strongly oppose this move because not only would it violate international laws but more concerningly it is feared to jeopardize the lives of our people who have been facing immense suffering for many years.

In fact, it should be stressed that our people currently held as detainees under the IRMCT Mechanism have been in jail for a period ranging between 17 and 31 years. Worse still, the life conditions of most of them remain alarming especially if you consider that their average age is 71.

Therefore, we reiterate our opposition to deportation to Rwanda where they only can expect the worse inhuman treatments.

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.

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
