The international community's response
1.) When did the UN officials receive warnings about the genocide?
About three months before it took place.
2.) Besides the warning given by one of the planners, what where the other warning signs of genocide?
Training militia openly, distributing guns and machetes to Hutu people, spreading hate messages throughout Rwanda, Death lists were sent out.
3.) How did state-sponsored propaganda present the Tutsi group?
They presented them as evil, manipulative, cockroaches and snakes. Saying that they planned to take over and put hate crimes to the Hutus.
4.) What prevented the international community from calling the violence in Rwanda “Genocide”? What would have happened if they had?
Once it was labeled as genocide they would be required by law to help the Rwandans and they did not want to be involved. If they HAD labeled it as such then the genocide probably would have ended more in out favor.
Once the international community withdrew it’s troops, what did the militia decide to do?
They decided to strengthen the attacks on the Rwandans and anyone who opposed of the genocide.
6. Who does President Clinton say must share he responsibility for the genocide?
President Clinton said that everyone one in the international community must share the responsibility for not recognizing what was happening earlier.
About three months before it took place.

Post Genocide Rwanda
1.In what was did the genocide impact the development of this “developing” country?
It impacted it A LOT. It took away the population, villages, made people disabled and unable to work, even today people are still hurt. But at the same time, the end of it brought ahead the development. Made the people realize the messed up and that they need to fix it.
2.Where does the rebuilding of a country shattered by genocide begin? What can the people do? What can the government do? What can the international community do?
Where does it begin. Where does anything begin? First off, steps need to be taken to prevent this from ever happening again. Then they need to help the population with their trauma so they move on and help the rebuilding, the re-populating. The people need to help each other, the government needs to prevent it from happening, the international community need to be there to help stop if it does rise up again.
3.How can justice be found in post-genocide Rwanda?
They are trying to make justice by holding the perpetraitors in prison until a trial can be held, but they need more prison facilities because the jails are packed. The trials are not coming fast enough.
4.Which can bring justice to the people of Rwanda more effectively- International courts or community courts. Community courts could be held with biased opinions as they were the ones who went through it. The international courts would probably be more fair.
