1. In what ways did genocide impact the development of this "developing" country?
A lot of people left so there were less people to rebuild towns and villages. The people that survived the genocide were wounded and had lost their hands so they couldn't help a lot. There were so many people being tried in court that the courts were overflowing with cases. The military branch that ended the genocide, established a "Government of National Unity".
2. Where does the rebuilding of a country shattered by genocide begin? What can the people do? What can the government do? What can the international community do?
The rebuilding of a country shattered by the genocide needs to begin with them forming a stable government, then they need to take care of the people by rebuilding things that were destroyed, then they need to punish everybody that was guilty. The people can build their own houses, rat out people that helped in the crimes and stay calm. The government can establish itself so it has ways to deal with problems and get help from other government. The international community can send food and other supplies to those that survived the genocide and are wounded.
3. How can justice be found in post-genocide Rwanda?
Justice can be found in post-genocide Rwanda by having leaders and people of importance being tried in courts around the country. Also there are community community courts that the people of the villages are the judges and they deal with them.
4. Which can bring justice to the people of Rwanda more effectively - international courts or community courts? Explain.
Community courts are more effective and fair because it lets the people that have been effected by the person under question be the judges so they know personally how it is fair. Also it is much faster then the international courts so the prisoners aren't stuck in jails for years and years.
