ARUSHA, Tanzania, May 7 (UPI) -- Nine judges were sworn in Monday as a panel that will finish the work of the U.N. tribunal dealing with war crimes committed in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.
The U.N. International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, based in Arusha, Tanzania, set up the International Residual Mechanism in 2010, mandating that it take over and finish remaining tasks of the tribunal when it shuts down after its mandate expires this year, the United Nations said in a release.
