    Type of mechanism
    Domestic court
    Name of mechanism
    Superior Court, Criminal Division; Court of Appeal, Quebec
    Name of accused
    Desire Munyaneza
    Charges
    Munyaneza was charged (in October 2005) under Canada’s 2000 Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes Act for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, which included sexual violence (at least explicitly for crimes against humanity and war crimes, although possibly also for genocide as ‘causing serious bodily or mental harm’).
    Trial chamber verdict
    On 22 May 2009, the Quebec Superior Court found Munyaneza guilty for the criminal offences of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes for abducting, raping, sexually assaulting, and killing Tutsis, and for pillaging of their properties.
    sentencing
    Munyaneza was sentenced to life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 25 years, which is the maximum sentence available in Canadian law.
    Appeals chamber verdict
    Following his conviction, Munyaneza appealed both the conviction and his sentence. One of his arguments was that the acts of murder, sexual violence and pillaging do not constitute war crimes according to international law that was in force in 1994, or, alternatively, according to Canadian law in force at the time. On 7 May 2014, the Quebec’s Court of Appeal rejected Munyaneza’s grounds of appeal and confirmed the first-instance verdict.
