Part III: Reintegrating Rwanda’s killers

Conflict & Justice

Rwanda faces a huge challenge nearly 13 years after the genocide. Huge numbers of people were killed but huge numbers of people have also been implicated in the killings. The Rwandan government wants justice for the victims but it also wants to promote reconciliation. So it’s created a program of community service. It’s designed to help confessed killers ease back into society.
