ICTR Registrar welcomes Rwandan representative

    NAIROBI

    The Registrar of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), Agwu Okali, has hailed the appointment of a Rwandan representative to the court. According to the Hirondelle news agency, he told reporters on Monday the tribunal needed “that kind of channel”. “We need someone who can tell the Rwandan government what is going on here from their own perspective. And we welcome the two-way feedback,” he said. Rwanda last month named Martin Ngoga, former public prosecutor in Butare, as its representative to the ICTR. He was due to arrive in Arusha on Tuesday for preliminary discussions. Okali said the tribunal planned to travel more to Rwanda and “bring the information to the people”.
