	Role of the international community in the Rwandan Genocide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oppositely, France, in agreement with the international community, endorsed the peace process of the negotiations of the Arusha accords between the Rwandan government, their opposition, and the exiles of the FPR.
		On 22 October 2004 the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda officially demanded that the "Republic of France" allow former ambassador Jean Michel Marlaud and one of his military representatives, officer Jean Jacques Maurin to respond to the demand of the defence of the presumed mastermind of the genocide: Colonel Bagosora pending judgement.
		But the deaths of Rwandans can also be laid at the door of the military genius Paul Kagame, who did not speed up his campaign when the scale of the genocide became clear and even talked candidly with me at several points about the price his fellow Tutsis might have to pay for the cause.

	Rwandan Genocide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rwandan Genocide was the slaughter of an estimated 937,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, mostly carried out by two extremist Hutu militia groups, the Interahamwe and the Impuzamugambi, during a period of 100 days from April 6th through mid-July 1994.
		For many the Rwandan Genocide stands out as historically significant, not only because of the sheer number of people that were murdered in such a short period of time, but also because of the way many Western countries responded to the atrocities.
		The Rwandan genocide and the resulting large numbers of refugees destabilized the regional balance of power along the Zairian border, resulting in the start of the First Congo War, which set the stage for the Second Congo War that continues to trouble the region.

	The 1994 Rwandan Genocide and U.S. Policy
		We learned about the genocide first hand as we carefully lifted each of 450 victims from the grave: the skull cleaved in two by a machete blow, the baby tied to his dead mother's back, the children with achilles tendons cut so that they couldn't run, the priest in his clerical garb.
		President Clinton should announce that prevention and suppression of genocide is a vital U.S. interest, and that it is the policy of the United States to act on an urgent basis to comply with its obligations under the Genocide Convention.
		Rwandan Hutu civilians who do not necessarily support the genocidaires, are forced to give them food, and, all too often, are targets of reprisals by Rwandan government forces.

	Preventing Genocide: The Role of the International Community, C.P. Scherrer, 28 January 2000 -- Prevent Genocide ...
		The causes for the genocidal frenzy we have witnessed in Rwanda, Sudan, or Cambodia have diverse features but a common element is the exclusion of minorities from the mainstream society based on ethnicity or rather the ethnicization of difference.
		Averting genocide is in principle the duty of all signatory states of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.
		The understanding that the international community is responsible to monitor the mandatory persecution of perpetrators of genocide in anyone state is growing.

		Mugabo, who gave such a graphic account of the genocide that it was as if it had happened the other day, said he was waiting for the end of the three months he is supposed to spend in the solidarity camp.
		Aged 53, and from the Muhima commune in Nyarugengye in the prefecture of Kigali village, Mugabo says the day he was told that he was leaving prison to join the solidarity camps, he felt he was in heaven.
		But before they go back to their communities, they are taken to solidarity camps to be "rehabilitated and taught how the new Rwanda operates." In the camps, they are taught the history of Rwanda, among other things.

	Conversation with Philip Gourevitch, p. 4 of 7
		He was the first Rwandan to rise to the rank of director general of a hotel, so he was a worldly, sophisticated businessman.
		Well, if one looks very particularly at the mechanisms of Rwandan life, one sees what Rwandans call the genocidal logic, the mechanisms; they understand how a small elite class that seized control of the state were the "authors," as they call them, of this genocide.
		The general who has essentially run Rwanda since the genocide, General Paul Kingala, who is the vice president and minister of defense in the post-genocidal government, said something that made a strong impression on me in that context.

	Commentary: How the Media Missed Rwandan Genocide
		Western media blame the international community for not intervening quickly, but the media must share blame for not immediately recognizing the extent of the carnage and mobilizing world attention to it.
		American and other Western officials dragged their feet after the genocide was reported, avoiding use of the word genocide for weeks afterward for fear of being compelled to intervene.
		The UN defines genocide as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such." The definition has been broadened in practice to include destruction of political groups.

	Rwanda Genocide Conference
		The silence that had greeted genocides in the past must be replaced by a global clamour, and a willingness to call what was happening by its true name, Secretary-General Kofi Annan said this morning at the opening of a one-day conference in memory of the genocide in Rwanda 10 years ago.
		The Memorial Conference on the Rwanda Genocide, which had started with a minute of silence for the victims, was co-chaired by the Foreign Ministers of Rwanda and Canada and moderated by Ruth Iyob, Director of the Africa Programme, International Peace Academy, and David M. Malone, President of the International Peace Academy.
		The international community, while it had learned what needed to be done, still lacked political agreement to prevent a Rwanda from happening again, said the Foreign Minister of Canada, Bill Graham.

		Produced one month into the genocide, this report declares that “Almost immediately after President Habyarimana was killed, in Kigali the Presidential Guard began the systematic execution of prominent Tutsi and moderate Hutu” and that the violence is “directed by high-level officials within the interim government”.

		But although the massacres are over, the legacy of the genocide continues, and the search for justice has been a long and arduous one.

	Aiding Violence: The Development Enterprise in Rwanda by Peter Uvin
		Peter Uvin shifts focus from the role played by the international community in responding to the Rwandan genocide of 1994 with humanitarian aid, to consideration of the role played, or not played, by the development aid community operative in Rwanda leading into the 1990s.
		Uvin details how international organizations, in addition to failing to catch warning signs of impending genocide and respond appropriately, also failed to weigh carefully the effects and potential to harm inherent in the development programs.
		Given increasing efforts to monitor and measure the potential for genocide throughout the world, Uvin’s book is an important tool in stimulating discussion and debate about the role of the international community in preventing genocide and structural violence in all stages of development, well in advance of deterioration into violence.
