BUJUMBURA, Burundi (AP) - The U.N. human rights commissioner said Wednesday that Burundi has agreed to set up a tribunal to try people suspected of genocide and war crimes during the central African nation's 12-year civil war.
Louise Arbour said the government will not give amnesty for war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity and other serious violations.
"We now have an important consensus (with the government) on the fact," she said at the end of her five-day visit to Burundi, which is still reeling from the war that killed more than 250,000 people.
