A UN Spokesperson said Fulgence Kayishema’s apprehension "sends a powerful message that those who are alleged to have committed such crimes cannot evade justice and will eventually be held accountable, even more than a quarter of a century later."

Briefing journalists in New York on Friday (25 May), the spokesperson for the Secretary-General, Stéphane Dujarric, said that the Secretary-General, António Guterres, welcomes the arrest of Fulgence Kayishema in South Africa following a warrant for his arrest by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

Kayishema has been sought since 2001 for allegedly committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Rwanda in 1994.

According to Dujarric, the Secretary-General commends the cooperation between the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals and the South African authorities for the arrest of Kayishema.

He also said that Guterres further recalls that all States have an obligation to cooperate with the Mechanism in the location, arrest, detention, surrender, and transfer of the accused persons still at large.

Dujarric also reported, “The Secretary-General's thoughts today are first and foremost with the victims of Mr. Kayishema’s alleged crimes, the victims of other serious international crimes, and their families. Ending impunity is essential for peace, security, and justice.”

The UN Spokesperson also read a statement from Serge Brammertz, the Chief Prosecutor of the Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, who said that his arrest ensures that Kayishema “will finally face justice for his alleged crimes, adding that the investigation that led to this arrest was made possible through the cooperation and support of South Africa and the Operational Task Team established by President Ramaphosa to assist the tribunal’s Fugitive Tracking Team.”
