| | Human Rights First | Publications - Prosecuting Genocide in Rwanda |
 | | Rwanda was simply too far away and did not rate highly in the "national interest" calculation of any of the states capable of intervening. |
 | | The statute of the ICTR establishes its jurisdiction, the types of crimes to be investigated and prosecuted, the tribunal's relationship with national courts, the organization of the tribunal and its prosecutor's and registrar's offices, the conduct of investigations, rights of the accused, witness protection, rules of procedure, appeals and enforcement of sentences. |
 | | The Government of Rwanda faced a dire situation in the fall of 1994: everything was needed at once, the justice system was in tatters, the number of prisoners was growing, the genocide survivors were crying for justice, and the former government had destroyed what it could not carry away. |
