Justice in Post-Genocide Rwanda (Transitional Justice)
Justice – Top Down or Bottom up. The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Tony Tate.
Rwanda was plunged into a genocide that killed at least 500,000 persons in a one hundred-day period. To seek justice for the victims, three different types of criminal proceedings were enacted. Perhaps best known is the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda which targeted the ringleaders of the genocide. Equally important were national trials held in Rwanda and a series of community-led hearings known locally as gacaca. The discussion will focus briefly on what happened during the genocide and then discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the three criminal proceedings.
