A year and a half after massacres killed hundreds of thousands in Rwanda , the United Nations tribunal investigating the genocide is now gathering evidence to prosecute those responsible.
Indictments start coming out regularly in the first months of next year.
Many suspects implicated in the genocide already have been arrested in some countries. But as many as 400 suspects are living as refugees in Nairobi, and until a week ago it appeared the tribunal would be unable to interrogate them. Last month Kenya 's president, Daniel Arap Moi, said his government would refuse to hand over suspects to the tribunal and would, in fact, arrest any members of the tribunal if they should come to Kenya. Without being able to interrogate and arrest suspects in Kenya, it appeared doubtful the tribunal could function. But in a major reversal of policy last week, Kenya's government agreed to cooperate with the tribunal.
