There were a few interesting things said this evening. Dr. Nuseibah mentioned that individuals are obviously also bound by the Genocide Convention, and it could have a long-term impact on individuals. There was also a discussion last week about whether the Central Bank or the State are bound by the Genocide Convention, and the impact that has. My understanding from what Dr. Nuseibah said is that it is the State, but that there are direct implications because the Central Bank is an organ of the State. There are then the ways by which individuals are bound. Will Dr. Nuseibah comment on that? As Chair, I ask that no names are mentioned.
