Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta is accused of crimes against humanity, including murder and persecution. The son of Kenya’s founding president. Lost 2002 elections to Mwai Kibaki but backed him in 2007. Like President Kibaki, a member of Kenya’s Kikuyu community – the country’s largest.

Accused of developing a plan to take revenge for attacks on Kikuyus and keep Kibaki in power. Kenyatta was allegedly the focal point between the government and the Kikuyu Mungiki sect, which was sent to the Rift Valley, setting up road blocks and going house-to-house, killing some 150 suspected Odinga supporters.

Cabinet secretary Francis Mutaura is a right-hand man of President Mwai Kibaki and seen as one of the most powerful unelected figures in the country. A former Kenyan ambassador at the United Nations and the European Union. From the Meru community, which is closely linked to President Kibaki’s Kikuyu group.

Accused of developing a plan with Kenyatta and Ali to take revenge for attacks on Kikuyus and keep Kibaki in power. Muthaura allegedly met Mungiki leaders and ordered the police to let Mungiki members through road blocks while using excessive force against supporters of Raila Odinga.

Former Education Minister William Ruto is one of the most influential people in the Rift Valley, where the worst violence took place. Suspended as minister in October after being accused of corruption over land deal, he flew to The Hague in November to try to clear his name.

William Ruto is accused of planning even before the election to set up militias to attack supporters of President Kibaki. Alleged to have urged his supporters to uproot the weeds from the fields – referring to communities in the Rift Valley with origins elsewhere in the country.

Reporter and executive of Kass FM radio, Joshua arap Sang Hosted morning shows on a Kalenjin-language radio station during the post-election violence in 2007/2008.

Joshua arap Sang is accused of planning attacks, along with Kosgey and Ruto, as well as whipping up ethnic hatred on the airwaves. Worst atrocity was the burning of a church near Eldoret where ethnic Kikuyus were sheltering.

Khmer Rouge prison chief Dutch

Dutch, 67, whose full name is Kaing Guek Eav, was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

He had admitted overseeing the torture and execution of thousands of men, women and children at the notorious Tuol Sleng prison, and asked for forgiveness.

Prosecutors had asked the judges for a 40-year prison sentence. However, Dutch will not serve the full 35 allotted years as judges reduced the sentence by five years because he had been held illegally, and reduced it by a further 11 years for the time already served behind bars.

Only about a dozen people who were held at Tuol Sleng are thought to have survived, three of whom are still alive. Up to 17,000 people are believed to have died there.

Charges
Mirsad Repak stands charged with crimes against humanity, war crimes, torture and rape. According to the prosecution most of the crimes were committed in the Dretelj detention camp in Southern Bosnia, which was known for the brutality of its guards. Repak pleaded not guilty to the most serious charges. He insisted that he was only following orders. Repak could face up to 21 years in prison. The trial is expected to last eight weeks.

Mirsad Repak (42), a former member of a Croatian paramilitary organization, came to Norway in 1993 as an asylum seeker and obtained Norwegian citizenship in 2001. The court will have to decide whether the Norwegian judicial system has the right to try a person who did not hold Norwegian citizenship at the time the alleged crimes were committed.

New laws

Norway introduced new war crimes legislation in March this year, enabling war crimes trials to be held in Norwegian courts even if the case concerned took place outside the Norwegian borders. The new laws cover crimes against humanity, genocide and terrorism. This is the first war crimes case to be heard in Norway since the Nazi tribunals held after the end of World War II.

Unfair

Repak’s lawyer, Heidi Bache-Wiig, said before entering the courtroom that her client “suffered after what he had to do and what he was ordered to do, and it has haunted him ever since.” “In big conflicts like this one, we should content ourselves with apprehending the decision makers and most senior officials. We never manage to catch them all and it’s perhaps unfair to just go after the little soldiers.”
She called for the case to be thrown out, arguing that the Norwegian constitution prohibits a new law from being applied prior to its enactment.
The prosecutor, on the other hand, argued that the Norwegian parliament had taken that factor into account by adopting the law with a clause stipulating that it could be applied retroactively.

Norwegian media have reported that around 100 war crimes suspects are believed to be residing in Norway. Most are either fugitives from the wars that split up Yugoslavia in the 1990s or from the Rwandan genocide in 1994. With this trial, the Norwegian government aims to demonstrate that Norway is no haven for war criminals.

International Crimes Law in the Netherlands

Crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide and torture are punishable in the Netherlands since 1 October 2003. The Law International Crimes follows from the Statute of Rome and the International Criminal Court (ICC). Although not stipulated in the Statute, a large number of ICC members have over the last years penalized crimes that fall under the authority of the ICC in their own national legislation and apply the new laws to crimes committed outside the national borders.
The Dutch justice system is authorized to prosecute crimes such as deportation, torture, disappearance, persecution, extermination and slavery, even if they have taken place outside the Netherlands by persons with a non-Dutch nationality. The only requisite is that the suspect is in the Netherlands. The law cannot be applied retroactively. Heads of state and diplomats cannot be prosecuted under this law.

“Kushayb will be tried in Sudan’s domestic courts. He is under investigation. He will be held accountable” Sabdarat said.The judges of the ICC issued arrest warrants last year for Kushayb and Haroun on 51 counts of alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes. But Khartoum has so far refused to hand them over.

Sabdarat did not say on what charges will Kushayb be prosecuted despite earlier assertions that he has been cleared from any wrongdoings.Khartoum has been lobbying world countries to freeze a move by the ICC to indict president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir. In mid-July the ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo announced that he is seeking an arrest warrant for Al-Bashir.
The ICC’s prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo filed 10 charges: three counts of genocide, five of crimes against humanity and two of murder. In early October ICC judges have officially started reviewing the case in a process that could possibly drag on to next year.

The accusations against Ali Kushayb

HIGH RANKING JANJAWEED LEADER & SUSPECTED WAR CRIMINAL
WANTED FOR OVER 40 COUNTS OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND WAR CRIMES, FOR DIRECTING AND PARTICIPATING IN KILLINGS, RAPE, DESTRUCTION AND FORCIBLE DISPLACEMENT IN FOUR VILLAGES IN WEST DARFUR

Real name: Ali Mohamed Ali. AKA: Ali Kushayb, Ali Kosheib, Ali Kouchib, Ali Kosheb, Ali Koshib and Ali Koship

On 31st March 2005, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1593, referring the situation in Darfur to the ICC. Following a 20 month investigation the Court decided that there was sufficient evidence to indict Ali Kushayb.

During 2003-4 Kushayb was the most senior Janjaweed commander in the Wadi Saleh area in West Darfur – he was known as the ‘colonel of colonels’. Eventually, he came to command many thousands of Janjaweed militiamen and, with government support, led the joint government-militia “ethnic cleansing’ operations in Wadi Saleh.

Kosheib himself led a number of attacks against civilian villages, during the course of which civilians were killed, women raped, property looted and buildings razed to the ground.

In one attack, in the Kodoom area in August 2003, Kushayb was seen issuing instructions to the Militia/Janjaweed who carried out the attack, killing numerous civilians, some of them shot as they were fleeing.

During an attack on Bindisi on or about 15 August 2003, Kushayb was seen in military uniform issuing orders. His forces pillaged and burned homes and shops. The attack on Bindisi lasted for approximately five days and resulted in the destruction of most of the town and the death of more than 100 civilians, including 30 children.

In an attack on Arawala, in December 2003, the evidence shows that Kushayb personally inspected a group of naked women before they were raped by men in military uniform.

The evidence indicates that Kushayb also personally participated in at least one mass execution. In or around March 2004 he was involved in the execution of at least 32 men from Mukjar. Witnesses report that Kushayb beat these men as they were being boarded into Land Cruisers. The cars then left with Kushayb in one of them. About fifteen minutes later, gunshots were heard and the next day 32 dead bodies were found in the bushes.

Present whereabouts:

At the time the ICC warrant was issued Kushayb was in Sudanese Custody in relation to other incidents. However, according to recent reports, Kushayb was released from prison on 1 October 2007 and is currently at liberty in Sudan.

Arrest Warrant Issued by: INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT IN THE HAGUE / ICC/INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT

DETAILS

STATE MINISTER FOR HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS IN DARFUR, PEACEKEEPER LIAISON & SUSPECTED WAR CRIMINAL

WANTED FOR OVER 40 COUNTS OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND WAR CRIMES, FOR RECRUITING, FUNDING AND DIRECTING JANJAWEED MILITIA RESPONSIBLE FOR RAPING, PERSECUTING, ATTACKING AND KILLING CIVILIANS, AND FOR INCITING THEM TO CARRY OUT THOSE ATTACKS

AKA: Ahmed Haroun, Mohamed Ahmed Haroun and Ahmed Haroon

From about April 2003 to September 2005, Ahmad Harun was State Minister for the Interior in Sudan – with special responsibility for the ‘Darfur Security desk’.

He was responsible for co-ordinating and directing the activities of the Janjaweed militia, Sudanese armed forces, intelligence and security services – used in a vicious ‘counter insurgency’ campaign against Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa and other non-Arab civilians whom he claimed were supporting the rebels. Substantial evidence was put before the Court to show that Harun had personally participated in the recruitment of Janjaweed militia, as well as mobilizing, funding and arming them. He was repeatedly identified as liaising with Janjaweed commanders, and the Court found there was reasonable grounds to believe that Harun knew full well that his new recruits, who were sometimes criminals released from prison, were committing crimes against humanity and war crimes against civilians in Darfur. Not only that, but evidence gathered by the ICC shows that Harun personally incited the militia to attack the Fur, Zaghawa and Masalit people. In one public speech to the massed ranks of Janjaweed, shortly before they looted the town of Mukjar, he stated that “since the children of the Fur had become rebels, all the Fur and what they had, had become booty.”

Present whereabouts:

Ahmad Harun continues to oversee humanitarian operations in Darfur in his capacity as State Minister for Humanitarian Affairs. In September 2007 Khartoum has appointed him to co-chair a commission whose mandate includes investigating human rights violations in Darfur.

The Government of Sudan has refused to surrender Harun to the ICC, insisting that he had no links to the Janjaweed. Khartoum also argues that, since it is not an ICC signatory, proceedings against Harun are a matter for the Sudanese judicial system.

AGAINST

GORAN HADZIC

INDICTMENT

The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, pursuant to her authority under Article 18 of the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (“the Statute of the Tribunal”), charges:

THE ACCUSED:

1. Goran HADZIC, son of Branko, was born on 7 September 1958 in the Municipality of Vinkovci, Croatia. Prior to the conflict in Croatia, Goran HADZIC worked as a warehouseman at a VUPIK plant in Pacetin, Municipality of Vukovar, Croatia.
2. Goran HADZIC had been a member of the League of Communists since his youth. Prior to 1990, Goran HADZIC was President of the Local Community of Pacetin. In the spring 1990, Goran HADZIC was elected a councilman at the Municipal Council of Vukovar as a candidate of the League of Communists – Party for Democratic Changes /Savez Komunista – Stranka za Demokratske Premene/ (“SK-SDP”). Goran HADZIC later joined the Serbian Democratic Party / Srpska Demokratska Stranka / (“SDS”). Goran HADZIC was elected chairman of the SDS for Vukovar on 10 June 1990.
