CHRISTOPHER C. BLACK
BARRISTER
Counsel List, International Criminal Court
Lead Counsel, International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, P.C, M.P. Prime Minister
Honourable Steven Blaney, P.C, M.P. Minister of Public Safety,
Honourable John Baird, P.C., M.P. Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Honourable Peter Mackay, P.C. M.P. Minister of Justice
House of Commons,
Dear Prime Minister and Ministers
Re: Visit of President Paul Kagame of Rwanda September 28, 2013
I have been asked to convey to you the attached statement of protest
against the visit to Canada of Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda, scheduled to
make a speech in Toronto September 28, 2013 .
The statement of protest is clear and I will not repeat its contents
here. Pursuant to the facts contained in that statement the organisations and
political parties concerned hereby seek your reconsideration in allowing this
visit to take place and request that it be interdicted. They also ask your
assistance in prosecuting Paul Kagame under the laws governing Canada
You will understand that the visit of this man, whose war crimes are
notorious, is causing great distress to the organisations concerned and all
concerned Canadians and can only bring dishonour to the Canadian people and
government and is not in the interests of this country.
The evidence of his crimes is contained in the files and trial
transcripts of the proceedings before the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
If you have any questions of me I am pleased to assist further. I thank
you for your time and consideration.
Please accept my highest regards,
Yours Sincerely,
Christopher C. Black
