François Bazaramba (born 1 January 1951 in Nshili, Gikongoro Province, Ruanda-Urundi) is a Rwandan sentenced to life imprisonment in Finland for participating in the Rwandan genocide in 1994. The "Bazaramba" case is historic in Finnish legal history because it was the first time anyone was sentenced under Finland's "crimes against humanity" laws (section 1 of Chapter 11 of the Criminal Code) since the international norms against genocide were implemented in national law. The case was appealed up to the Supreme Court of Finland, which upheld the conviction.
