The presiding judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) Navanethem Pillay has said the tribunal neither targets nor favours any particular ethnic group in Rwanda. In an interview with the ‘EastAfrican’ weekly, she said the tribunal simply sought to try those suspected of committing serious offences in the Rwandan genocide of 1994. While the evidence showed that both Tutsis and moderate Hutus were massacred, and only members of the Hutu community had so far been indicted, she was authorised “to investigate all parties responsible for the massacre”.
