UN Tribunal Convicts Media Leaders of Genocide

UN IRIN, Nairobi, December 3, 2003 -- The UN International
Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) convicted on Wednesday three
Rwandan media personalities of genocide and sentenced two of them
to life imprisonment and one to 35 years in prison

In a statement, the tribunal reported that a bench of three
judges had sentenced Ferdinand Nahimana, a founder and ideologist
of the Radio Télévision des Mille Collines (RTLM) and Hassan
Ngeze, editor in chief of Kangura newspaper, to life in prison
for their involvement in the 1994 genocide that claimed at least
800,000 lives.

The third defendant, Jean-Bosco Barayagwiza, a board member of
the Comité d'initiative of the RTLM and founding member of the
Coalition for the Defence of Republic (CDR) political party, was
sentenced to 35 years in prison.

They were found guilty of genocide, incitement to genocide,
conspiracy and crimes against humanity - extermination and
persecution.

The judgement, in the trial that had been known as the Media
Case, was delivered by Judges Navanethem Pillay (presiding), Erik
Møse and Asoka de Zoysa Gunawardana.

The tribunal reported that the case examined the role of the RTLM
radio station and Kangura newspaper in the genocide in Rwanda.

"It also reviewed the role of the CDR, a party found by the
Chamber to have spearheaded the Hutu Power movement, which
created a political framework for the genocide," the tribunal
reported.

In their ruling, the judges observed that in a radio interview
broadcast at the height of the genocide on 25 April 1994,
Nahimana, talked of the "war of media, words, newspapers and
radio stations", which he described as a complement to bullets.

"You were fully aware of the power of words, and you used the
radio, the medium of communication with the widest public reach
to disseminate hatred and violence," Pillay told Nahimana when
she read the court's ruling.

She added, "Without a firearm, machete or any physical weapon,
you caused the death of thousands of innocent civilians."

Barayagwiza, who was tried in absentia after he boycotted the
trial, was convicted for his role in RTLM, as well as for
individual acts of genocide and extermination and his leadership
role in the CDR.

Ngeze, also a founding member of CDR, was convicted for his
activities in "ordering, instigating and aiding and abetting acts
of genocide", as well as for his writings in Kangura.

"The power of the media to create and destroy fundamental human
values comes with great responsibility," Pillay said. "Those who
control such media are accountable for its consequences".

Comment:
When the Hutu come into power, will the current crop of
operatives supporting the murderous tyrant Kagame and his bloody
long reign of terror and carnage finally be brought to justice? 
YES! 
Surely! 
[Perhaps NOT at the UN of the whites. The whites' UN is
irrelevant to the 3rd World.]

"One of the apologies for imperialism during its heyday was 
PACIFICATION - the suppression of intertribal warfare by 
persuasion or force (usually the latter) and the substitution 
of legal means of resolving disputes or redressing wrongs. 

"Had pacification and 'the rule of law', wider trade, and 
improvements in transportation and communication been the 
only innovations introduced by imperial agents, imperialism 
might ultimately have been more of a boon and less of an ordeal
for its native subjects. 

"In fact, colonial pacification was not an end in itself but a 
means to achieve goals that almost invariably benefitted the 
intruders as much as they harmed the native inhabitants: 
forced labor, loss of territory, economic exploitation, 
subordinate social and political status, and a lack of legal 
redress against wrongs or crimes committed by colonialists. 

"The price of imperial peace was a manifold indiginity, 
dispossession, abject poverty, slavery, famine, and worse; 
and that price was surely too high. The peace that humans 
universally desire is not that of the grave or the chain gang, 
but imperial pacification often meant both."
     Lawrence H. Keeley, 
     War Before Civilization, 1996
