In 1997, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), an international court established by the United Nations Security Council to judge people responsible for the genocide, indicted Kabuga on seven criminal charges including genocide.
Bubacar Jallow spoke to Al Jazeera about the significance of Kabuga's arrest.
Bubacar Jallow: We had clear evidence that he left Rwanda after the genocide and had gone to Kenya.
Al Jazeera: Had Kabuga travelled to Kenya under his own name?
Bubacar Jallow: In addition to the process of justice, you need other elements such as healing in the community to bring closure.
