The Gacaca Courts in Rwanda - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This short essay is about the Gacaca courts in Rwanda after the genocide. The Gacaca courts were established upon the idea of traditional local Gacaca courts that had previously settled village or familial disputes, such as theft, marital issues, land rights, and property damage. The re-established Gacaca courts, nevertheless, had a completely different mandate, as they were meant to speed up the legal proceedings against the suspects of mass violations - by using as many courts as possible; reconstruct the truth about what happened during the genocide, and build reconciliation. However, did the Gacaca court bring justice to Rwanda after the genocide?
