UN court declares Rwandan genocide suspect unfit for trial due to dementia.

The UN court has declared that Rwandan genocide suspect Felicien Kabuga is unfit for trial due to health concerns and has called for an "alternative" legal procedure. Kabuga is accused of promoting hate speech through his broadcaster, Radio Television Libre des Milles Collines (RTLM), and arming ethnic Hutu militias. He was arrested in Paris in 2020 and sent to The Hague for trial. Kabuga did not attend court in person and followed the trial remotely via video-link from a wheelchair at the court's detention center.
