UN court declares Rwandan genocide suspect mentally unfit for trial.

The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) has ruled that Félicien Kabuga, an 88-year-old Rwandan genocide suspect, is no longer capable of "meaningful participation" in his trial due to a significant decline in his ability to care for himself. Kabuga is accused of broadcasting hateful propaganda and arming militias in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. The court suggested an alternative procedure that resembles a trial as closely as possible, but without the possibility of a conviction.
