In Rwanda in 1994 an estimated one million Tutsi men, women and children were slaughtered at the hands of government soldiers and Interhamwe militia. As a judicial response, the UN established the International Criminal Tribunal in neighbouring Tanzania to try the perpetrators of the killings - it's creation was to be a signal that the world would not tolerate crimes of genocide. In March of this year, ex-Liberian President Charles Taylor was arrested in Nigeria and transferred to the Special Court for Sierra Leone. He was indicted for his role in arming and funding the RUF in a brutal conflict in which tens of thousands died. Charles Taylor was personally charged with some of the worst crimes against humanity. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia sits in The Hague, The Netherlands. Here, individual war crime suspects rather than entire communities are held responsible for their actions. Slobadan Milosevic died while his case was in progress but the tribunal has indicted one hundred and sixty others, for crimes against humanity across the former Yugoslavia.

I entered the church knowing that nobody would have the courage to attack a holy place. 00:00:00
Shortly after we had entered, my eldest child, who was with my mother-in-law, they stabbed 00:00:14
him with a sharp stick below his ear. 00:00:19
My mother-in-law told me that my son had died. 00:00:24
I told her, don't cry, I think we are in trouble, I don't know if we ourselves are going to 00:00:29
survive. 00:00:34
She laid the body down. 00:00:36
They also threw bricks at us through the holes. 00:00:40
I put my baby down and I lay down beside the altar. 00:00:45
They entered and they were attacking people, chopping people. 00:00:49
The miracle that happened to me, I asked God to help me cross the Red Sea. 00:00:55
Then they killed a baby and threw it on me. 00:01:02
Now they couldn't tell if I was alive or not because of the dead bodies. 00:01:05
Angelique Mukavichizi is a survivor of the genocide that took place in Rwanda in 1994. 00:01:11
In a barbaric 100 days of mass killings, an estimated 1 million Tutsi men, women and children 00:01:18
were slaughtered at the hands of government soldiers and intra-Hamwe militia. 00:01:24
Twelve years on, survivors are barely coping with the physical and mental scars. 00:01:29
Many women were subjected to extreme sexual violence, raped by militia or mutilated so 00:01:35
they could never bear Tutsi children. 00:01:41
And in what is perhaps the genocide's cruelest legacy, many female survivors are now infected 00:01:45
with HIV. 00:01:50
The genocide continues to leave orphans. 00:01:54
Many of these children, themselves HIV positive, are cared for now by grandparents or neighbours. 00:01:57
Travelling through Rwanda today, it's difficult to comprehend that these are not chronicles 00:02:04
from the country's dark age. 00:02:09
The atrocities took place just over a decade ago. 00:02:11
During the genocide, the international community abandoned us Rwandans. 00:02:18
They saw everything as it was happening. 00:02:22
They saw it on their televisions, they had it on their radios, but they still took it 00:02:24
as some killings between savages. 00:02:28
This hurts us a lot. 00:02:31
If you look at the way the international community reacted to the tsunami in Indonesia or elsewhere, 00:02:33
that's different from what they did here in Rwanda. 00:02:38
For most Rwandans, there would be no peace without justice. 00:02:42
Justice means capturing and punishing the perpetrators of the genocide. 00:02:46
Many of the suspected architects of the killings fled Rwanda in late 1994. 00:02:50
As a judicial response, the UN established the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, 00:02:55
or ICTOR, in neighbouring Tanzania, so that suspects apprehended could be brought to justice 00:03:01
on an international stage. 00:03:07
