The Serbian War Crimes Prosecution is ready to process war crimes cases committed in Rwanda, says spokesman Bruno Vekaric. He said that the strategy for ending the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the Hague Tribunal required some trials to be referred to national judiciaries in countries that deal with these types of cases accordingly. Serbian courts in line to hear Rwanda war crimes cases? The Rwandan Tribunal has over 100,000 unfinished cases, which will be transferred to national courts that have experience in hearing cases for crimes against humanitarian law, Vekaric said, adding that the Serbia could be one of them. He said that a certain legal framework would have to be harmonized though, allowing a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, since under domestic law 20 years is the maximum prison term. Vekaric said that Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic had already met with officials from the Rwandan court during his recent visit to Tanzania. The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda was founded in 1994, with the goal of bringing to justice those responsible for the murders of 800,000 members of the Tutsi tribe.
