United Nations Genocide Law

In effect starting now, all present and future members of the United Nations must abide by the following requisitions. 

For future situations, a genocide will be confirmed when multiple killings have been reported, totally up to at least 500 deaths. If the death toll is under this number, but the victims of the murder incidents have not or are not capable of making any move to protect themselves, aid is required to be sent. Victims are to be put under watch by United Nations forces and possibly armed depending on the intensity of the situation. Due to the neglect of the genocide in Rwanda this law must be followed. A definite death toll signaling action should prevent this at any given point. 

In the future not, any signs of future acts of genocide will assuredly be taking into account. Specifically, if any news-broadcasted discriminating acts have been made upon certain social, ethnical, or religious groups, and investigated with an intensity varying upon said malicious acts. 

Genocide Part 4

1. In what ways did genocide impact the development of the "developing" country?
There was no government to run hospitals, schools, shelters, food programs, or factories. Public utilities like telephones, electricity and water were not usable.

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?
They first rebuilt a government, then they rebuilt education, health, and economic systems in the years after. People can't do much they just need to try and do as much as possible on their own. The government is doing what it can by creating, schools and hospitals and such.

3. How can justice be found in post-genocide Rwanda?
Justice can be found by making legal punishments and prosecution for the people who are responsible for the genocide.

4. Which can bring justice to the people of Rwanda more effectively - international courts or community courts? Explain.
I think that community courts can bring more justice to Rwanda because the punishments would be more like prosecution which would give some people closure and these people would no longer be apart of the community.

Genocide Part 3

1. When did UN officials receive warning about the genocide?
They received warning 3 months before the genocide.

2. Besides the warning given by one of the planners, what were other warning signs of the genocide?
The training of militia men was conducted openly, and the perpetrators of the genocide distributed weapons openly.

3. How did state-sponsored propaganda present the Tutsi group?
As evil and manipulative people. They were called cockroaches and snakes. All they wanted was to regain power and return Rwanda to a country that mistreated Hutus.

4. What prevented the international community from calling the violence in Rwanda "genocide"? What would have happened if they had?
After the holocaust they made an agreement which said that a genocide would never happen again. If they had called it a genocide the U.S. would have been in big trouble.

5. Once the international community withdrew its troops, what did the militia decide to do?
The militia decided to intensify the genocide, targeting resisters and officials who apposed the genocide.

6. Who does President Clinton say must share responsibility for the genocide?
The International community and nations in Africa.

Valentina's Genocide Experience

1. Imagine that you were Valentina. What would you do or say if you were confronted by Bagaruka in the village after the genocide?
I would kick and scream and probably take my anger out on him.

2. Put yourself in the shoes of Denis Bagaruka. How could you kill all of these innocent people? What would you have to do to create a mindset that would make it possible for you to murder innocent women, men, and children?
I would have to do it all in anger. My mindset would be revenge for what has happened to my friends and family.

3. What kind of punishment Bagaruka be given?
He should be given an execution or a jail sentence for life.

4. Try to put yourself in Valentina's shoes. It is three years after the end of the genocide. In what ways does the genocide stil impact your daily life?
She can not use her hand because of the machete damage. She has to remember all of those things that happened. She still has no mother or father or brother. And two big scars on the back of her head from more machete marks.
