MR. PRESIDENT:
The proceedings are called to order. Normally,
the witness, at this stage, is brought in after the appearances are
put on the record.
MR. MOSES:
Your Honours, I, in fact, asked WVSS to wait until
the appearances had been made, bearing in mind that there is no
hesitation, so I think it's best that we do ask for the witness to be
removed.
MR. PRESIDENT:
Yes, counsel, we will only go by names.
Registry, would you please introduce the matter coming before the
Trial Chamber this morning, please, for the record?
MR. KIYEYEU:
Thank you, My Lords. Trial Chamber II of the
International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, Judge William Sekule,
presiding, Judge Arlette Ramaroson and Judge Solomy Bossa, is now
sitting in open session today, Tuesday, the 17th of February, 2004,
for the continuation of the trial when Prosecution Counsel, Mr.
Moses, will continue the Examination-in-chief of Witness RV, PW-51,
in joint Case Number ICTR-98-42-T, in the matter of the Prosecutor
versus Pauline Nyiramasuhuko and Shalom Ntahobali, Case No. 97-1-3;
the Prosecutor versus Sylvain Nsabimana and Alphonse Nteziryayo, Case
Number ICTR 97-29-3, The Prosecutor versus Joseph Kanyabashi, Case
Number ICTR-96-G and the Prosecutor versus Élie Ndayambaje,
ICTR Case No.96-8-2. I'm most obliged, My Lord.
MR. PRESIDENT:
Yes may we also have the appearance of the
Prosecution, please, for the record?
MR. MOSES:
Yes, may it please Your Honours, counsel's name is
Moses. I appear together with Ms. Arbia, who's the senior trial
attorney, and Mr. Bouwknecht, who is case manager. Thank you, Your
Honours.
MR. PRESIDENT:
Yes.
MR. KADJI:
Good morning, Mr. President, Your Honours. I'm

MR. PRESIDENT:
Thank you, Learned Counsel. Next, please.
MR. MWANYUMBA:

We are all three from the Montreal bar, and we wish you good day.
MR. PRESIDENT:

MR. BOULÉ:
Mr. President, Your Honours, good morning. I
am Pierre Boulé, lead counsel for Élie Ndayambaje,
assisted by Claude Desrochers, co-counsel, and our legal assistant,
Frederic Palardy and Claver Sindayigaya, are temporarily absent but
will be joining us shortly. We wish you good day.
MR. PRESIDENT:
Thank you, learned counsel. Yes.
Was no legal assistant forgotten, for the record? Mr. Pacere.
MR. PACERE:
That is correct, Mr. President. I would -- Mr.
President, I'm sorry, I beg the Bench's forgiveness. I was being
very prudent so as to not be too clear about the makeup of our team,
so I left out our legal assistant. Pauline Rukebesha is with me.
MR. PRESIDENT:
All right. Can we -- Witness -- I don't know?
Yes.
Witness RV, the Trial Chamber reminds you of the solemn declaration you made yesterday and that you will continue your evidence today on that same solemn declaration.
THE WITNESS:
Agreed.
MR. PRESIDENT:
We were in closed session yesterday at the end of
the day. What do you propose we do, Mr. Moses? Do we continue in
open session?
MR. MOSES:
No, Your Honours. I ask that we return to closed
session to finish examination-in-chief.
MR. PRESIDENT:
We'll go in closed session to enable counsel to
question, some of which will have a bearing on the identity of the
witness. Registry, are we there?
