Rwandan Genocide suspect Kabuga pleads not Guilty at U.N. Court

 Rwandan Genocide suspect Kabuga pleads not Guilty at U.N. Court.

A U.N. Court registered an appeal of “not guilty” for Rwandan genocide suspect Felicien Kabuga at his counsel's request on Wednesday after he remained silent during his initial appearance.


Kabuga, 85, appeared frail & didn't respond to questions from Judges. He was arrested in France in May after decades on the run & transferred to a United Nations detention centre in The Hague on Oct. 26.


“We have talked about this with Mr Kabuga before the hearing & he does not wish to answer in these conditions. I would appreciate it if you would consider his non-response as a plea of not guilty,” lawyer Emmanuel Altit told the Court after the presiding Judge asked Kabuga to enter a plea.


Judge Iain Bonomy entered the not guilty plea & ordered an assessment of Kabuga’s health.


Prosecutors have charged Kabuga with 5 counts of genocide, accusing him of operating a hate speech radio station which fanned the flames of ethnic hatred against people identified as Tutsis during the 1994 killings in Rwanda.

Effects of Non-Registration

 Effects of Non-Registration The Companies Act, 2013 evidently highlights that the main essential for any organization to turn into a company is to get itself registered. A company cannot come into existence until it gets registered. But no such obligation has been imposed for firms by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. If a firm is not registered it does not cease to be called as a firm, it still exists in the eyes law. Certainly, such a big advantage is not absolute but is subjected to a lot of limitations which we will study further. Non-registration of a firm simply means that the business skips the formalities of incorporation and ceases to exist in the eyes of the law. section 58 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 deals with the procedure of incorporation.
