<br/><br/> "As Rwanda continues to try to put its ghastly 1994 genocide behind it, a traditional judicial practice is helping the country in its national healing process. Local Rwandan communities have used Inkiko-Gacaca adjudications to resolve disputes since before Belgian colonizers arrived a century ago. However, the newly formalized, three-year-old Gacaca system merges customary Rwandan laws with formal legal procedures, equipping courts to deal with the crimes of the Rwandan genocide while making the judicial process more intimate and familiar for genocide victims." (HARVARD POLITICAL REVIEW) This article discusses the trial of Rwandan war criminals for the 1994 genocide of 800,000 ethnic Tutsis.
