In 29th anniversary, Rwanda calls for extradition of genocide perpetrators

Almost three decades after over one million people were killed in a genocide, the government of Rwanda continues to call for the extradition of suspected perpetrators.

In a commemorative event held in collaboration with the United Nations, Rwanda’s High Commissioner to Nigeria Stanislas Kamanzi noted that “#Kwibuka29 affords an opportunity for reiterating a vivid appeal to the international community concerning suspected genocide perpetrators still at large in different countries around the world, which have shown little or no preoccupation in bringing them to justice or extraditing them to Rwanda to be tried.”

He, however, thanked governments of countries that have made a “commendable effort” to bringing suspected genocide perpetrators to justice.
