"Rwanda's Gacaca Courts provide an innovative response to the genocide of 1994. Incorporating elements of both African dispute resolution and of Western-style criminal courts, Gacaca courts are in line with recent trends to revive traditional grassroots mechanisms as a way of addressing a violent past. Having been devised as a holistic approach to prosecution and punishment as well as to healing and repairing, they also reflect the increasing importance of victim participation in international criminal justice. This book critically examines the Gacaca courts' achievements as a mechanism of criminal justice and as a tool for healing, repairing, and reconciling the shattered communities. Having prosecuted over one million people suspected of crimes during the 1994 genocide, the courts have been both praised for their efficiency and condemned for their lack of due process. Drawing upon extensive observations of trial proceedings, this book is the first to provide a detailed analysis of the Gacaca legislation and its practical implementation. It discusses the Gacaca courts within the framework of transitional and international criminal justice and argues that, despite the trend towards local, tailor-made solutions to the challenges of political transition, there is a common set of principles to be respected in addressing the past. Evaluating the Gacaca courts against the backdrop of existing or emerging principles, such as the duties to investigate and prosecute, and the right to the truth, the book provides a sophisticated critique of Rwanda's reconciliation policy. In doing so, it contributes to the development and the clarification of these principles. It concludes that Gacaca courts have achieved a great deal in stimulating a basic discourse on the genocide, but they have also contributed to assigning collective responsibility and may thus end up deepening the divides within Rwandan society"--Provided by publisher.

Entre avril et juillet 1994, ce sont environ 800 000 tutsis qui ont été tués par leurs voisins hutu. En novembre 1994, alors que la justice rwandaise est exsangue, l'ONU crée le Tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda (TPIR).Le 2 septembre 1998, Jean-Paul Akayesu, bourgmestre de Taba, est condamné à la prison à vie pour le massacre de 2000 tutsis et l'incitation aux viols collectifs : c'est la première fois au monde que le viol est reconnu comme arme génocidaire. Il aura fallu quatre années pour qu'un tribunal international rende un verdict sur l'un des massacres les plus terrifiants de notre histoire contemporaine.En partant du récit de l'enquête et du procès du bourgmestre de Taba, Ornella Rovetta nous livre une analyse approfondie de ce que peut être la justice internationale et nous dit, en somme, la place qu'occupent les génocides dans notre monde contemporain.
