    OF MRS. HABYARIMANA

    Classified By: Political Minister-Counselor Josiah Rosenblatt, 1.4 (b/d
    ).

    ¶1. (C/NOFORN) SUMMARY: XXXXXXXXXXXXl told us January 12
    that Judge Bruguiere's November 17 report recommending the
    prosecution of President Kagame and requesting the arrest of
    nine of his associates had been forwarded to Interpol. He
    noted that it was incumbent on the U.S. to make its own
    determination as to whether the U.S. was subject to any legal
    obligations as a result. Belgium and the UK have informed
    France that they will honor the arrest warrants if any of the
    nine arrive in their territories and will do so pursuant to
    an EU agreement covering such matters. The same official
    said that former-President Habyarimana's widow, who had
    recently lost a French court case on her request for
    political asylum, planned to appeal. The case was thus not
    yet closed, and Rwanda had not, contrary to media reports,
    "officially" requested her arrest in connection with the 1994
    genocide. Separately, XXXXXXXXXXXX conceded that the GOF had given Bruguiere the green  light to issue his report, in response to Rwanda's continuing  probes into, and allegations concerning, France's role in the  events of 1994 in Rwanda; the same source surmised that the  GOF had miscalculated and had not envisioned the severe  measures Rwanda would take in response
     END SUMMARY.

    ARREST WARRANTS

    ¶2. (C) MFA Rwanda desk officer Laurent Chevallier said on
    January 12 that Judge Bruguiere's November 17 report on
    events in 1994 concerning the death of then-Rwandan President
    Habyarimana and recommending the prosecution of President
    Kagame and calling for the arrest of nine of his associates,
    had been forwarded to Interpol. (We contacted Chevallier in
    response to ref A e-mails asking whether Bruguiere's report
    created any legal obligations for the U.S. should the
    individuals named seek to enter the U.S.) Chevallier said
    that he was not in a position to make determinations on U.S.
    legal obligations. The matter had been forwarded to
    Interpol, he repeated, but he was not certain how Interpol
    had proceeded. Chevallier was confident, however, that
    Bruguiere's report had the same effect as the issuance of
    international arrest warrants. He said that Belgium and the
    UK had already told the French that they would arrest those
    named should they enter their territories, based on
    Bruguiere's warrants. However, they would act not because of
    obligations regarding Interpol but rather in accordance with
    an EU agreement covering arrest warrants issued by member
    states.

    ¶3. (C) Chevallier advised that the USG was the only entity
    that could determine whether the circumstances of this case
    and its relationship with Interpol placed any obligation on
    the U.S. concerning these individuals. "I'm sure you
    understand that as a French official, I really can't tell
    your government how this all affects you," he continued. He
    suggested that officials in Washington study the matter and,
    if necessary, work with Interpol to determine what, if any,
    obligations Washington might incur.

    MRS. HABYARIMANA

    ¶4. (C) Chevallier commented briefly on the case of the
    widow of former Rwandan President Habyarimana. The press
    announced during the week of January 8 that a French court
    had refused her request to remain in France as a political
    exile, and also reported that Rwanda had insisted that she be
    arrested for her alleged role in the 1994 genocide.
    Chevallier referred to the January 11 MFA press briefing,
    during which the spokesperson noted developments in her case
    and denied that Rwanda had "officially" requested her arrest.
    Chevallier said that Mrs. Habyarimana's case was not closed,
    and that in fact she had already indicated an intention to
    appeal "before the end of January." Chevallier reiterated
    that, to his knowledge, Rwanda had not "officially" requested
    her arrest. He remarked dryly that it would be interesting
    if Rwanda did so, since it had "officially" severed
    diplomatic relations with France in response to the Bruguiere
    report.

    (C/NOFORN) GOF GAVE GREEN LIGHT TO BRUGUIERE, ACCORDING TO
    MFA DAS

    ¶5. (C/NOFORN) In a recent conversation largely on other
    matters, XXXXXXXXXXXX
    confided that the GOF had given Bruguiere the green
    light to issue his report. (NOTE: The party and public line

    PARIS 00000186 002 OF 002

    has been that Bruguiere, exercising his judicial
    independence, had done so without consulting other GOF
    elements. END NOTE.)XXXXXXXXXXXX
    said that France had wanted to reciprocate for
    Rwanda's taking steps to investigate France's
    alleged involvement in the 1994 genocide and its aftermath.
    XXXXXXXXXXXX
    said that the GOF had miscalculated, not foreseeing
    the strong measures (i.e., severing diplomatic relations)
    Rwanda would take in retaliation. (NOTE: XXXXXXXXXXXX
