Statute of the International Tribunal for Rwanda
Adopted on 8. November 1994
The Security Council,
Reaffirming all its previous resolutions on the situation in Rwanda,
Having considered the reports of the Secretary-General pursuant to paragraph 3 of resolution 935
(1994) 1 July 1994 (S/1994/879 and S/1994/906), and having taken note of the reports of the Special
Rapporteur for Rwanda of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (S/1994/1157, annex I and
annex II),
Expressing appreciation for the work of the Commission of Experts established pursuant to resolution
935 (1994), in particular its preliminary report on violations of international humanitarian law in Rwanda
transmitted by the Secretary-General's letter of 1 October 1994 (S/1994/1125),
Expressing once again its grave concern at the reports indicating that genocide and other systematic,
widespread and flagrant violations of international humanitarian law have been committed in Rwanda,
Determining that this situation continues to constitute a threat to international peace and security,
Determined to put an end to such crimes and to take effective measures to bring to justice the persons
who are responsible for them,
Convinced that in the particular circumstances of Rwanda, the prosecution of persons responsible for
serious violations of international humanitarian law would enable this aim to be achieved and would
contribute to the process of national reconciliation and to the restoration and maintenance of peace,
Believing that the establishment of an international tribunal for the prosecution of persons responsible
for genocide and the other above-mentioned violations of international humanitarian law will contribute
to ensuring that such violations are halted and effectively redressed,
Stressing also the need for international cooperation to strengthen the courts and judicial system of
Rwanda, having regard in particular to the necessity for those courts to deal with large numbers of
suspects,
Considering that the Commission of Experts established pursuant to resolution 935 (1994) should
continue on an urgent basis the collection of information relating to evidence of grave violations of
international humanitarian law committed in the territory of Rwanda and should submit its final report to
the Secretary-General by 30 November 1994,
Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
1.Decides hereby, having received the request of the Government of Rwanda (S/1994/1115), to
establish an international tribunal for the sole purpose of prosecuting persons responsible for genocide
and other serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of Rwanda and
