1. (U) This is an action request. See paragraph 4.
2. (C) On the margins of the Tripartite Plus meetings in
Kigali March 15-16, ICTR Chief Prosecutor Hassan Bubacar
Jallow met with SRSG for the DRC William Lacy Swing to
discuss MONUC assistance to the ICTR, specifically the
location of suspects sought by the Tribunal. It is our
understanding, from separate conversations with SRSG Swing
and Prosecutor Jallow, that the two have agreed upon the
sending of an ICTR team (which should be in the DRC this
week) to work with MONUC in identifying these suspects. A
local MONUC contact confirmed that MONUC will provide
logistical support to this ICTR team.
3. (C) It is this embassy's understanding that previous
Security Council resolutions governing MONUC's operations
make no explicit mention of assistance to the ICTR. Both
SRSG Swing and Prosecutor Jallow have told us that such an
explicit mandate would be helpful to both organizations, and
have asked that the USG pursue such a mandate. We understand
that MONUC authorization comes up for renewal in mid-April.
4. (C) Action Request. Embassy Kigali supports this
request, and asks the Department to authorize our colleagues
in New York to pursue it. Such an assistance linkage would
be very useful to the ICTR in its pursuit of genocide
suspects. We leave it to our AF, IO and USUN colleagues to
fashion the proper form of language in the new resolution.
