Several suspected perpetrators of crimes under international law were arrested. CAR’s
Special Criminal Court announced the arrests of four men accused of war crimes and/or
crimes against humanity. Steps were taken to bring two genocide suspects to account:
Fulgence Kayishema was re-arrested on a new arrest warrant that would allow his extradition
to the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals in Tanzania while Théoneste
Niyongira was deported from Malawi to Rwanda.
Governments must strengthen efforts to fight impunity by undertaking prompt, thorough,
independent, impartial, effective and transparent investigations into crimes under
international law and other serious human rights violations and abuses, bringing suspected
perpetrators to justice and ensuring victims’ access to an effective remedy.
