SUBJECT: ICTR: AMBASSADOR WILLIAMSON DISCUSSES TRIBUNAL 
CLOSURE WITH ICTR OFFICIALS 
 
REF: DAR 00376 
 
SUMMARY 
------- 
1. (U)  Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues Clint 
Williamson met with key leadership and working-level 
officials at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda 
(ICTR) and toured the United Nations Detention Facility in 
Arusha on March 7 and 8, 2007.  Williamson,s discussions 
centered on the successful completion of the ICTR by its UNSC 
mandated deadlines (2008 for all trials, 2010 for all 
appeals) and the related issues of the ICTR,s legacy and 
residual capacity.  The key USC"co'gQVRQ5`)dQUQ@QAcVO- 
reftel.  END SUMMARY. 
 
2. (U)  Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues Clint 
Williamson, accompanied by Brendan Doherty, Foreign Affairs 
Officer, visited the ICTR March 7-8, 2007.  Williamson met 
with all ICTR principals-- President Erik Mose, Prosecutor 
Hassan Jallow, and Registrar Adama Dieng--as well as archival 
officials and American ICTR staff.  Williamson praised the 
ICTR for its continued efficiencies and noted the urgency in 
needing to develop a strategy and structure for ICTR residual 
capacity post-2010.  Williamson remarked that the USG is 
currently developing policy positions on these key issues and 
will confer with other Security Council members and ICTR 
contributors to reach policy positions prior to the 
Tribunal's completion dates. 
 
Finishing Cases and the President,s Term Limit 
--------------------------------------------- - 
3. (SBU)  The central issue to meeting the ICTR'S completion 
strategy is prosecuting or transferring the 36 defendants 
currently in detention and the 18 remaining fugitives. 
Despite a few current challenging and cumbersome cases, 
President Mose remains confident that the ICTR will complete 
all trials of those in custody by 2008.  President Mose has 
also played a crucial role in stepping up, and keeping up, 
the pace of trials and maximizing use of the Tribunal's four 
courtrooms.  However, his second term ends in May 2007 and an 
extension would require amending the judge-made Rules of 
Procedure.  While Dieng commented: "You don't change a team 
that wins," Mose and Jallow were silent on the issue and it 
is unclear whether Mose will seek a term limit modification. 
 
 
Rwanda,s Capacity for Rule 11bis Transfers 
------------------------------------------ 
4. (SBU)  Prosecutor Jallow wants to transfer approximately 
20 cases to domestic jurisdictions in 2007 and plans to file 
a Rule 11bis transfer &test case8 to Rwanda in April. 
Rwanda is the USG,s preferred jurisdiction for all transfers 
in principle, but first must meet international fair trial 
standards.  Jallow noted, and Williamson agreed, that the GOR 
needs a plan for building judicial capacity and recommended a 
staged approach, focusing first on Rule 11bis capacity and 
second on judicial capacity more broadly.  Jallow also 
floated the possibility of indicting additional suspects for 
the purpose of transfer but this would require UNSC approval, 
a very difficult sell.  Senior Trial Attorney Barbara 
Mulvaney suggested that if the Prosecutor withdrew 
indictments, files could be transferred without judicial 
review, but this would risk the credibility of the ICTR. 
Mulvaney also noted that keeping the cases in the Tribunal's 
system is one method of prolonging the ICTR's existence, 
concurrently benefiting the judges who are themselves 
deciding whether to transfer cases. 
 
Dialogue on Residual Capacity Issues 
------------------------------------ 
5. (SBU)  As the ICTR closes, some issues such as witness 
protection, handling of archives, and special hearings (e.g. 
contempt or sentence reviews) will require an ICTR residual 
capacity.   Williamson commented that any residual capacity 
should be lean, handle only essential functions, and likely 
 
evolve over time and by need.  He asked the Tribunal 
principals for preliminary recommendations on addressing 
these residual issues.  Mose suggested a mixed 
judicial/administrative residual body based in Kigali or 
Arusha which drew on a small judicial roster.  Mose stressed 
the desirability of using previous ICTR judges for 
institutional memory and judicial efficiency. 
 
RPF Cases 
--------- 
6. (SBU)  Regarding Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) cases, 
Jallow said he is focusing on two or three individuals, has 
asked his team to decide in April or May "whether we have 
cases or we don't," and expects to make an announcement by 
June 2007.  Acting Assistant Registrar Everard O,Donnell 
suggested that the immediate transfer to Rwanda of any RPF 
indictments would help mitigate criticism from the GOR.  Any 
RPF indictments would require UNSC approval, however, and 
likely rupture ICTR relations with the GOR, but would also 
garner the ICTR important legitimacy by refuting the 
allegation of it being a victor,s justice tribunal. 
 
GOR and ICTR Relations 
---------------------- 
7. (SBU)  Mose, Jallow, Dieng, and the GOR Representative to 
the ICTR, Alloys Mutabingwa, agreed that relations between 
the GOR and the ICTR were good.  However, the ICTR officials 
noted one specific area for improvement, namely, the need for 
a prompt response from the GOR to ICTR requests for security 
clearances of potential ICTR employees.  The ICTR officials 
claimed that up to 20 such requests had yet to be answered; 
Mutabingwa, on the other hand, told the Ambassador that the 
GOR had answered all outstanding requests. 
 
Comment 
------- 
8. (SBU)  Ambassador Williamson's visit to Arusha emphasized 
the USG,s full engagement on the complex legacy and residual 
issues facing the Tribunal and reaffirmed the USG,s 
commitment to see the ICTR complete its work successfully. 
President Mose and other officials clearly appreciated the 
open and frank dialogue and wished to work together on these 
issues going forward. 
 
9.  (U)  This cable has been cleared by Ambassador 
Williamson.
