Rwanda: UN Security Council Calls For Support to UN Tribunals

The president of the UN Security Council last week called upon states in the region to cooperate with the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and for all member states of the UN to pay their dues. The Tribunal is currently facing a US $50 million funding gap and with more than half its cases yet to go to trial, will struggle to complete all of its work by 2010, the official date set for its closure.
