“Two systems of retributive justice were set up by the international community and the Rwandan government to try suspects of the 1994 genocide: the Tanzania-based International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
and the local grassroots gacaca courts in Rwanda.Achieving the twin objectives of justice and reconciliation in Rwanda is
a complex process. While truth-finding and retribution can contribute to reconciliation, the potential of aggravating animosities and victimization in the process remains a concern.”
