Late that year, in an effort to redeem itself, the United Nations Security Council created the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to seek accountability for some of the worst atrocities since World War II: the genocide suffered by the Tutsi and crimes against humanity suffered by the Hutu. But faced with competing claims, the prosecution focused exclusively on the crimes of Hutu extremists. No charges would be brought against the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front, which ultimately won control of the country. The UN, as if racked by guilt for its past inaction, gave in to pressure by Rwanda's new leadership. With the Hutu effectively silenced, and the RPF constantly reminding the international community of its failure to protect the Tutsi during the war, the Tribunal pursued an unusual form of one-sided justice, born out of contrition. Fascinated by the Tribunal's rich complexities, journalist Thierry Cruvellier came back day after day to watch the proceedings, spending more time there than any other outside observer. Gradually he gained the confidence of the victims, defendants, lawyers, and judges. Drawing on interviews with these protagonists and his close observations of their interactions, Cruvellier takes readers inside the courtroom to witness the motivations, mechanisms, and manipulations of justice as it unfolded on the stage of high-stakes, global politics. It is this ground-level view that makes his account so valuable--and so absorbing. A must-read for those who want to understand the dynamics of international criminal tribunals, Court of Remorse reveals both the possibilities and the challenges of prosecuting human rights violations. 410 0$aCritical human rights. 606 $aTrials (Crimes against humanity)$zRwanda 606 $aWar crime trials$zRwanda 606 $aGenocide$zRwanda 607 $aRwanda$xHistory$yCivil War, 1990-1993$xAtrocities 607 $aRwanda$xHistory$yCivil War, 1994$xAtrocities 615 0$aTrials (Crimes against humanity) 615 0$aWar crime trials 615 0$aGenocide 676 $a345.67571/0251 700 $aCruvellier$b T$g(Thierry)$01621053 701 $aVoss$b Chari$01621054 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812786903321 996 $aCourt of remorse$93954170 997 $aUNINA
