The failure of the international community to prevent the 1994 Rwandan genocide has focused attention on the limitations of "humanitarian intervention" as a remedy for such tragic situations. But under what conditions should such intervention be carried out? What international laws apply? And under whose auspices should intervention be initiated? The International Dimensions of Genocide in Rwanda explores these and other questions, seeking to determine what lessons may be learned from Rwanda for the future. Meticulously researched and drawing on the complete United Nations files on Rwanda, the volume offers a chronology of the events in Rwanda up until the April 1996 departure of the UN peacekeeping forces. Klinghoffer then examines the policies and actions of specific outside actors, as well as the deficiencies of international law and of United Nations procedures which hampered the effectiveness of the international response. The definitive work on the Rwandan genocide, this book will have profound implications for future international responses to tragic situations in other troubled states.
