Rwanda asks international court to quash French warrants on genocide crimes
Rwanda has asked the International Court of Justice to quash French arrest warrants issued against nine associates of President Paul Kagame.
The government cannot function properly, as officials like the army chief-of-staff are unable to travel abroad, says Rwanda's justice minister.
The warrants were issued in November after a French judge implicated Mr Kagame in his predecessor's killing.
Former President Juvenal Habyarimana's death sparked the 1994 genocide. More than 800,000 people died in the 100-day massacres of Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
