The ICTR Appeals Chamber Dismisses the Prosecutor?s Appeal to Transfer Michel Bagaragaza for Trial to Norway
On 30 August 2006, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR, or the Tribunal), sitting in The Hague, dismissed an appeal by the ICTR Prosecutor against the 19 May 2006 Decision of Trial Chamber III, which denied a Prosecution motion to transfer the case of The Prosecutor v. Michel Bagaragaza for trial in Norway. In dismissing the Prosecutor?s appeal, the Appeals Chamber agreed with the reasoning and conclusion of the Trial Chamber that it would be inappropriate to transfer Bagaragaza?s case to Norway because that country lacks jurisdiction to try the Accused for the serious violations of international law including genocide, for which he has been charged.
