Genocide And Human Rights Questions
The International Criminal Court for Rwanda (ICC-R) plays a crucial role in addressing genocide by ensuring accountability for those responsible for the genocide in Rwanda. It was established to prosecute individuals accused of committing genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. The ICC-R investigates, prosecutes, and tries individuals who bear the greatest responsibility for these crimes, contributing to the fight against impunity. By holding perpetrators accountable, the ICC-R aims to provide justice to the victims and prevent future genocides. Additionally, the court also works towards reconciliation and healing by promoting truth-telling and acknowledging the suffering of the victims.
