    The EU’s role in supporting genocide survivors

    Noam Schimmel writes that a new report by the Task Force on the EU Prevention of Mass Atrocities, which calls for greater attention to be paid by EU policies and programs to the need to prevent genocide and other mass atrocities, is timely, but criticizes the report for not addressing France’s role in the Rwandan genocide and in sheltering the genocide’s perpetrators.

    Gacaca trials to end in June

    The Gacaca courts (semi-traditional courts) are scheduled to end in June this year. Inspired by Rwandan tradition, the gacaca courts are charged with trying people in Rwanda suspected to have taken part in the 1994 killing spree against Tutsis. In 2008 an amendment of the law broadened the jurisdiction of the gacaca to rape cases.
