PARIS, June 3 — A French court today approved the transfer of Rwandan genocide suspect Felicien Kabuga to a United Nations tribunal.

Kabuga has been indicted by UN prosecutors for genocide and incitement to commit genocide. He is accused of financing and arming ethnic Hutu militias that massacred 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 1994.
