Dutch Court Sentences Rwandan-Born Man to Life for 1994 Genocide Massacre

A Hague court sentenced Eugene N., 67, to life imprisonment for directing a massacre of roughly 3,000 Tutsis at Mbazi stadium in April 1994. Rwanda's 2014 extradition request failed because Dutch law bars surrendering nationals, forcing domestic prosecution under universal jurisdiction — the principle letting national courts try grave international crimes regardless of where committed.
