**Out Now on #Patreon - The War Criminals Book Club** We finally got around to reviewing the 2025 Nuremberg movie. Did it deliver on its promises? A short snippet of our broader discussion here 👇

The RCMP has detained a man allegedly involved in the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda & charged him with 16 *immigration* related charges. If he was involved in genocide, prosecute him for it. Canada has the laws to do so & is obligated to do so under the Genocide Convention: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ottawa man wanted for alleged role in Rwandan genocide arrested on immigration charges | CBC News

RCMP say they've arrested an Ottawa man who's believed to have resided in Canada for 30 years under a false identity, and who is wanted in Rwanda for his alleged role in that country's 1994 genocide.

Yea, this is shameful. We’ve been debating the ICC Prosecutor’s situation based on a number of leaks that different news outlets (with different interests) obtained from sources. To this day, the public does not have access to any official document.

FIDH (International Federation for Human Rights)@fidh-official.bsky.social · last mo.

Key documents remain confidential: procedural records, key decisions, the OIOS findings, and the ad hoc Panel's conclusions. That opacity has damaged confidence in the process and caused direct harm to the complainant/alleged victim at the centre of the allegations.
