Turning to Ntabakuze’s submission regarding the opportunity to enroll in a work programme, the Appeals Chamber stresses that such a complaint must first be made to the Commanding Officer of the Tribunal’s Detention Unit, who has responsibility for all aspects of the daily management of the Detention Unit.[1] If the detainee is not satisfied with the response of the Commanding Officer, he may then make a written complaint to the Registrar of the Tribunal, who shall then forward it to the President of the Tribunal.[2] In the present case, Ntabakuze has failed to show that the matter is properly brought before the Appeals Chamber after the exhaustion of all available remedies. His complaint is accordingly dismissed.
