    Direitos costumeiros e crimes internacionais: a justiça ruandesa após o genocídio de 1994 – Tribunais Gacaca e Abunzi.Danilo Ferreira Da Fonseca - 2017 - Odeere 1 (2).
    O presente trabalho traz uma reflexão acerca do modo que a África contemporânea articula os direitos costumeiros e a justiça aos moldes ocidentais, pensando mais especificamente o caso de Ruanda após o genocídio de 1994 em que os tribunais Gacaca e o Abunzi foram gestados para realizar essa ligação. Nesse sentido, buscamos possibilitar ponderações de como os ruandeses articularam questões que envolvem crimes contra a humanidade e uma percepção moderna de direito, com as práticas tradicionais de suas sociedades costumeiras.

    Women’s testimony and collective memory: Lessons from South Africa’s TRC and Rwanda’s gacaca courts.Nicole Ephgrave - 2015 - European Journal of Women's Studies 22 (2):177-190.
    This article uses a comparative approach to elucidate the ways in which women’s testimony operated in South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and in Rwanda’s gacaca courts, to draw out some important lessons for future mechanisms of transitional justice. The author argues that while restorative justice mechanisms allow more space for including women’s own experiences of human rights violation than conventional trials, they may pose greater danger for those who testify. A significant problem resulting from the narratives of both (...)

    Justice centrée sur la faute ou justice centrée sur les victimes? Le dilemme des commissions de vérité et de réconciliation.Dany Rondeau - 2016 - Éthique Publique 18 (1).
    Ce texte s’intéresse aux conditions de réussite des mécanismes de type commission de vérité et de réconciliation. Il présente deux grilles à partir desquelles il analyse et compare trois cas : la Truth and Reconciliation Commission d’Afrique du Sud, les tribunaux gacaca au Rwanda et la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada sur les pensionnats indiens. La première grille évalue la capacité d’une CVR à promouvoir la justice et la responsabilité. La seconde, leur capacité à favoriser la réconciliation (...)

    Law and the Public Sphere in Africa: La Palabre and Other Writings.Jean Godefroy Bidima - 2013 - Indiana University Press.
    Jean Godefroy Bidima's La Palabre examines the traditional African institution of palaver as a way to create dialogue and open exchange in an effort to resolve conflict and promote democracy. In the wake of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commissions and the gacaca courts in Rwanda, Bidima offers a compelling model of how to develop an African public space where dialogue can combat misunderstanding. This volume, which includes other essays on legal processes, cultural diversity, memory, and the internet in (...)

    Nation-building confessions: Carceral memory in postgenocide rwanda.Gretchen Baldwin - 2019 - Les Ateliers de l'Éthique / the Ethics Forum 14 (2):159-181.
    The postconflict Rwandan state has crafted a “we are all Rwandans” national identity narrative without ethnicity, in the interest of maintaining a delicate, postgenocide peace. The annual genocide commemoration period called Kwibuka—“to remember”—which takes place over the course of one hundred days every year, is an underresearched part of this narrative. During the commemoration period, génocidaires’ confessions increase dramatically; these confessions lead the government to previously undiscovered graves all over the country, just as confessions given during the grassroots justice system— (...)—did in the more immediate aftermath of the genocide. According to a prominent government official known for his prison outreach, the Rwandan government no longer provides incentives for prisoners to confess. Instead, he stated in a 2017 interview, those who speak up over twenty years later are simply “moved by the spirit of Kwibuka.” When confessions are made, memories of past action are used by the state, seemingly toward an ultimate end of reinforcing the national master narrative, to subsume the individual memories of innocent survivors into the national collective memory. This paper explores the questions around the state’s evolving use of prisoner confessions, both how those confessions are obtained, and how they factor into commemoration practices now. (shrink)

    Restorative Justice and Post-Genocide Reconciliation: Ethical Implications and Community Healing in Rwanda.Jonas Musengimana - 2024 - Journal of Ethics in Higher Education 5:241-261.
    This paper explores the role of restorative justice in post-genocide reconciliation in Rwanda, focusing on its ethical implications and impact on community healing. Following the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda faced the challenge of addressing survivors' trauma, fostering national unity, and reconciling a divided society. Key initiatives, including the Gacaca court system, emphasized dialogue, accountability, and forgiveness to promote healing. Using restorative justice and social reconstruction theories as its conceptual frameworks, this study examines how restorative justice fosters trust, (...)
