The The Culture of Impunity and Its Impact on The Execution of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi In Rwanda
Journal Title: SOCIALSCI JOURNAL - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
From the Social Revolution in 1959 until 1994, the Rwandan culture of impunity encouraged violence against the Tutsi population. This culture contributed to the environment that allowed for the execution of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Its eradication requires that all genocide perpetrators be tried to end mutual suspicion between Hutu and Tutsi. This paper draws on the testimonies of Genocide survivors, gathered through interviews, in order to demonstrate the historical development of the culture of impunity, which culminated in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. The findings herein are of interest to both the general public, which must be educated about the dangers of impunity, and legal scholars who study laws intended to prevent impunity.
