Rwanda has not taken kindly to the decision by the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals of the United Nations to release some genocide convicts and slashing the sentences.
Rwanda made its position known to the UN on June 6, the same day Judge Theodor Meron, president of the Residual Mechanism, presented to the UN Security Council a report on progress made by the court which took over the work of the criminal tribunals of Rwanda and Yugoslavia.
