Interested in the Rwandan genocide and its intercultural implications? According to the Associated Press, an international panel blamed the U.N. Security Council, the United States, France and the Catholic Church for failing to prevent the slaughter of more than 500,000 Rwandans. The panel further concluded that France was closer than any other government to the Habyarimana regime and knew what was happening, but did nothing to stop the genocide before it began.
Like the French government, the Catholic and Anglican hierarchies were blamed by the panel for failing to use "their unique moral position among the overwhelmingly Christian population to denounce ethnic hatred and human rights abuses." Click on the links below to learn more.
