On the tenth anniversary of the beginning of the genocide in Rwanda, panelists discussed the history of the genocide, the role of the media and the policies of the U.S. and the U.N., reconstruction of the country, and the international criminal trials. The first panel, titled “Genocide and Responsibility,” was composed of Rwandans, journalists, a Holocaust survivor, students, and writers. The second panel, titled “The Media Trial: International Justice, Meaning and Consequences,” was composed of attorneys and journalists. Panelists discussed the trials of Rwandan media personnel who were convicted of genocide for their words and the implications of that case. Among the panelists were Stephen Rapp, United Nations ICTR prosecutor, and John Floyd, U.S. defense counsel for Hassan Ngeze, the former owner of the Rwandan newspaper Kangura who was convicted of genocide. close
