Genocide And Human Rights Questions
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) plays a crucial role in addressing genocide by prosecuting individuals responsible for the genocide that occurred in Rwanda in 1994. The ICTR was established by the United Nations Security Council in 1994 with the primary objective of bringing justice to the victims and holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. It has the authority to investigate, indict, and try individuals accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes committed during the Rwandan genocide. Through its work, the ICTR aims to contribute to the prevention of future genocides, promote reconciliation, and ensure that the international community recognizes and condemns such grave human rights violations.
