Gacaca: Accountability and Reconciliation in Post-Genocide Rwanda
Faculty Sponsor: Charles Mironko
Since 1994's genocide, Rwandans have searched for a way to restore justice, both in terms of holding perpetrators accountable and enabling the grassroots participation that will underlie reconciliation. Louisa explored the ability of Gacaca, a traditional form of justice, to meet those ends by sitting in on tribunals and talking to the people involved.
