The indictment was issued under Belgium?s "universal jurisdiction" law which allows prosecution of atrocities regardless of where they are committed. The governments of Senegal and Chad have both indicated their support for Habre?s extradition. Habre is in exile in Senegal. If extradited, Habre would become the first ex-President ever extradited to face human rights charges in another country?s courts.
