Drew White (QC) is an international lawyer from Canada best known for his role in the conviction of Colonel Theoneste Bagosora, who the media dubbed "the mastermind" of the 1994 Rwanda genocide and who White referred to in his closing trial submissions as one of the "enemies of the human race". International criminal prosecutions In total, between October 2000 and December 2011, White prosecuted the trials of six accused at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (UNICTR) in Arusha, Tanzania, resulting in five convictions and life sentences at trial (four sentences were reduced on appeal). The 'Military 1' Trial Between 11 and 16 November 2005 White cross-examined Colonel Bagosora obtaining the admission that Bagosora had been just outside the office door where ten Belgian UN peacekeepers had sought refuge and were under attack by Rwandan Government Forces on the morning of 7 April 1994. White had Bagosora concede that the Colonel knew that some of the 10 Belgians had been killed and some were still alive and that when he left the scene he expected the remaining Belgian peacekeepers to be killed. That concession was a key piece of evidence upon which Bagosora was convicted of the murder of some of the peacekeepers. White's lengthy cross-examination also helped to ground Bagosora's conviction at trial on numerous other counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the murder and sexual violation of Rwandan prime minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana and the murder of the chief justice of the constitutional court, Joseph Kavaruganda. Between 19 and 27 January 2004, during the prosecution phase of the ‘Military 1 Trial’, White presented prosecution witness Lieutenant-General Romeo Dallaire of the Canadian Armed Forces (now Senator Dallaire), the UNAMIR force commander whose testimony was central to the case and was reported to be the most-watched media event in the history of the ICTR, with an "unprecedented number of international reporters". White's examinations of Dallaire and his aide, Major Brent Beardsley, extracted key evidence from the two witnesses who had been obviously shaken from the experience of their observations in 1994. Portions of that evidence have become so widely known they are now central to the general public's understanding of the events in Rwanda, such as Colonel Bagosora being the "kingpin" whom the Trial Chamber confirmed was in charge on the morning of April 7, as well as the evidence of sexual crimes, particularly as described by
