International crimes have no statute of limitations, but what can be done when their perpetrators, sometimes tried decades after the fact, have become senile, mentally ill, and can no longer understand prosecution? asks Civitas Maxima\u2019s lawyer Alain Werner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The most striking difference between the prosecution of a common crime &#8211; for example, homicide following a bank robbery &#8211; and that of an international crime &#8211; genocide, war crimes, torture, crimes against humanity &#8211; is that for the latter, criminal proceedings are never time-barred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">After a certain number of years, if the person who robbed the bank cannot be found, they can no longer be prosecuted. However, as long as the person suspected of international crimes is alive, they can be prosecuted, even long after the fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Crimes that never die<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The idea behind this distinction is that international crimes, by their very nature, are of particular gravity, and their prosecution requires this imprescriptibility. In other words, these crimes never die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">For those of us seeking justice for victims of international crimes, this imprescriptibility is our secret weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">It has enabled &#8220;Nazi hunters&#8221; and numerous national prosecutors to continue prosecuting people associated with the crimes of the Third Reich for over 70 years. For example, former Auschwitz accountant Oskar Gr\u00f6ning, born in June 1921 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/monde\/lancien-comptable-dauschwitz-condamne-4-ans-prison\">was convicted by<\/a> a court in L\u00fcneburg, Germany, in June 2015 at the age of 94, having been found guilty of complicity in the murder of at least 300,000 Jews. He died in 2018 before serving his sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the trials of former Nazis, several of the most emblematic proceedings of the last three decades have also been made possible by the ability to prosecute them without time limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pinochet, Hiss\u00e8ne Habr\u00e9, Duch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Augusto Pinochet was 83 years old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/monde\/l-arrestation-de-pinochet-a-londres-en-1998-un-moment-cle-pour-la-justice-penale-internationale\">when he was arrested in London in 1998<\/a> on charges of torture, some of which happened almost 25 years ago, at the time of his 1973 coup d&#8217;\u00e9tat. According to the Spanish investigations into the case, between 1973 and 1990, <a href=\"https:\/\/75890720.flowpaper.com\/AnnualReport2022DIGITAL\/#page=15\">Mr. Pinochet was responsible for<\/a> the torture of approximatively 10 % of his country&#8217;s adult population, and for the murder and\/or enforced disappearance of over 3,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">His arrest in London was led by the exemplary persistence and documentation efforts spanning over three decades of <a href=\"https:\/\/rightlivelihood.org\/the-change-makers\/find-a-laureate\/juan-garces\/\">Juan Garc\u00e9s<\/a>, a Spanish lawyer who managed to escape the attack of Pinochet&#8217;s men into the presidential palace of <em>La Moneda<\/em> in 1973.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The imprescriptible nature of international crimes also enabled another exemplary and obstinate lawyer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/livres\/article\/2024\/03\/20\/la-traque-de-hissene-habre-reed-brody-contre-l-impunite-des-grands-de-ce-monde_6223087_3260.html\">Reed Brody<\/a>, to obtain in 2016, alongside Chadian and Senegalese lawyers, the conviction of the former President of Chad, Hiss\u00e8ne Habr\u00e9, whose regime was responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people. His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeuneafrique.com\/329448\/societe\/senegal-tchad-hissene-habre-condamne-a-detention-a-perpetuite\/\">verdict came more than thirty years after some of the crimes were committed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This ability to prosecute international crimes over the long term also enabled the United Nations, after years of negotiation with the Cambodian government, to set up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/monde\/proces-dirigeants-khmers-rouges-deja-condamnes-lopinion\">Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC)<\/a> in Phnom Penh. This tribunal, made up of Khmer and international judges, tried certain senior members of the Khmer Rouge regime, responsible for the death of a third of its own population between 1975 and 1979. These trials took place between 2009 and 2018, some of them forty years after the crimes were committed.<br><br>I&#8217;ll never forget my astonishment when I first arrived in Phnom Penh in 2009 as a lawyer for victims in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiofrance.fr\/franceculture\/podcasts\/serie-duch-le-gardien-des-portes-de-l-enfer\">the Duch trial<\/a>, who was the head of the S-21 or Tuol Sleng concentration camp. I searched for the prison but all I saw was a building that looked more like a hospital or a nursing home, with an ambulance going in and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">One of the accused, Ieng Sary, &#8220;brother number 3&#8221; and vice-prime minister of the Khmer Rouge government in charge of foreign affairs, died on March 14, 2013, at the age of 87, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/monde\/deces-leader-khmer-rouge-ieng-sary\">before the end of his trial<\/a>. Nuon Chea, &#8220;brother number 2&#8221;, considered as Pol Pot&#8217;s \u201cdark soul\u201d and the regime&#8217;s ideologue, died in August 2019 at age of 93,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swissinfo.ch\/fre\/l-id%C3%A9ologue-des-khmers-rouges-nuon-chea-est-mort-%C3%A0-93-ans\/45140128\"> after taking part to both of his trials<\/a>. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes against humanity, genocide and other international crimes in the second proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/monde\/asie-oceanie\/deux-anciens-dirigeants-khmers-rouges-condamnes-perpetuite-genocide\">Nuon Chea<\/a> stood in the dock alongside Khieu Samphan, the former president of Democratic Kampuchea &#8211; the official name of the Khmer Rouge regime. Nuon Chea is still alive today and is 92 old. He was defended in Cambodia by Jacques Verg\u00e8s, who himself died at the age of 88 in 2013 while still pleading his case.<br><br><strong>When dementia makes justice impossible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This legal right to prosecute until their deaths anyone suspected of international crimes comes up against an obstacle: the loss of cognitive faculties of the accused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">For example in the Cambodian trials, proceedings against the only female defendant, <a href=\"http:\/\/www1.rfi.fr\/actufr\/articles\/110\/article_78669.asp\">Ieng Thirith<\/a>, were suspended in 2011, as she was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/monde\/leader-khmere-rouge-liberee-demence\">suffering from dementia<\/a>. The former &#8220;first lady&#8221; of the regime and wife of Ieng Sary died in 2015, aged 83.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Two recent proceedings on the genocide in Rwanda, with diametrically opposed outcomes, illustrated well the complexity of the issue of the inability to try a person accused of international crimes on account of their mental state.<br><br>Last year, for example, the Trial Chamber of the United Nations Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for the Rwandan Genocide decided that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irmct.org\/en\/cases\/mict-13-38\">F\u00e9licien Kabuga<\/a>, the alleged financier of the genocide, was &#8220;unfit to participate meaningfully in his trial&#8221;, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/fr\/115025-medecins-goutte-a-goutte-proces-kabuga-interrompre.html\">due to Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.<\/a> The same Chamber nevertheless decided to pursue the case through &#8220;an alternative procedure of ascertainment which resembles as closely as possible a trial, but without the possibility of conviction&#8221;. Such a decision was a first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Followed by an appeal by both the prosecutors and the defense, the Appeals Chamber handed down its decision in August 2023, confirming that Mr. Kabuga was unfit to stand trial, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irmct.org\/en\/cases\/mict-13-38\">ruling that the Trial Chamber had erred in devising this &#8220;alternative procedure&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I<\/strong><strong>magining other solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/monde\/financier-presume-genocide-rwandais-arrete-pres-paris\">One of the world&#8217;s most wanted fugitives<\/a> &#8211; arrested on May 16, 2020, in the Paris suburb of Asni\u00e8res-sur-Seine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/monde\/financier-presume-genocide-rwandais-arrete-pres-paris\">after 23 years on the run<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/monde\/afrique\/pire-serait-felicien-kabuga-decede-detre-juge\">including a stint in Switzerland<\/a> &#8211; has finally escaped justice. In the specific, he was prosecuted for his support of the Interahamwe Hutu militia and for his responsibility in Radiot\u00e9l\u00e9vision des Mille Collines broadcasts calling for genocide. Victims&#8217; associations said they were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/fr\/120498-rideau-final-sur-le-proces-kabuga.html\">&#8220;appalled&#8221; by this decision<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Belgian justice, for its part, took a completely different approach to a similar problematic in proceedings concerning Rwanda. It decided to try Pierre Basabos\u00e9, 76 years old, despite his irreversible senile dementia, with the specialized press headlining: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/fr\/120416-pierre-basabose-ne-comprend-plus-rien-mais-son-proces-aura-lieu.html\">&#8220;Pierre Basabos\u00e9 no longer understands anything, but his trial will go ahead&#8221;.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Having found him guilty in December 2023 of war crimes and the crime of genocide<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/fr\/126461-genocide-de-1994-un-rwandais-condamne-a-la-prison-a-perpetuite-en-belgique.html\">, the Belgian judges then decided that Mr. Basabos\u00e9 should be institutionalized<\/a>. He had been unable to attend his entire trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In view of the imprescriptibility of statutes of limitation, longer life expectancy and the growing number of proceedings for international crimes, this situation is bound to recur. It would be advisable &#8211; for victims and defendants alike &#8211; to harmonize as soon as possible the courts&#8217; practices in dealing with the issue of age-related mental incapacity to stand trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The article first appeared in French on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/opinions\/chroniques\/les-crimes-internationaux-ne-meurent-jamais-mais-leurs-auteurs-vieillissent\">Le Temps<\/a>\u00a0on the 22nd of April, 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo: Khieu Samphan, Trial Chamber 31.
