"Some countries are still not cooperating," Rwandan Justice Minister Edda Mukabagwiza said recently. "France is looking at some cases, but it's taking a long time."

To meet its deadline, the tribunal will hand some cases over to relevant national jurisdictions, but these are not expected to have the resources or clout of the ICTR.

Some of the fugitives are reported to have claimed refugee status under false names and to be coolly waiting until the end of the year.
