Oooh look Rwanda can embarrass the UN and the ICC. And all this happened within the last 10 years! International law my ass. The UN didn't act to stop genocide and now the international tribunal turns out to employ people accused of genocide and crimes against humanity. Utterly shameful.
"The discovery of genocide suspects on the ICTR’s payroll has threatened the integrity of the experiment in international law taking place in Arusha. Along with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague, the tribunal for Rwanda is the first international court to try war criminals since the famous ones in Nuremberg and Tokyo following World War II. The U.N. Security Council set up the courts in 1993 and 1994 respectively to prosecute leaders suspected of committing genocide and crimes against humanity, and to alleviate Western guilt about having let them rage unchecked. The tribunals are the forerunners of the newly established and permanent International Criminal Court, which will be based in The Hague.
As a European diplomat based in Rwanda put it recently, “Imagine Klaus Barbie working for the defense at Nuremberg."

Good grief. Moss is an asshole. He should be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Go watch his behavior when he was released. Disgusting.
