Anti-Genocide Act

The Mass Killing of Ethic or Religious Groups Prevention Act


    This law is to be hereby enforced and obeyed by all members of the United Nations. By this act, the members of the United Nations are to take any sign whatsoever, including but not limited to oral reports, electronic messages, or telephone calls, of a mass killing of a certain group, meaning the organized killing of 100 or more people of a certain group, ethnic or religious, and investigate the area or country where the signs have come from. If it revealed that a group or entity is attempting the amount and type of killing described above, then at least five of the members of the United Nations are to take whatever action is necessary to stop the killing. Whether or not the term, ‘genocide’ is used in the situation is irrelevant. Also, if it is discovered that the killing is not aimed at any particular group, but it is still a threat to the lives of over 100 people, then action must still be taken. Also, any reports on the events under investigation that come out of the country are to be allowed to become public knowledge. This law is mainly in response to the atrocious response of the world to the Rwandan killings, which many countries refused to call genocide, when in reality it was.

The International Community's Response Questions (group 3)

1. The UN officials received warnings about three months prior to the killings.

2. Other warning signs included hate messages over the radio, and hateful propaganda.

3. The hateful propaganda presented the Tutsi as evil cockroaches who just wanted to regain power and mistreat the Hutu people.

4. The implication of having to get legally involved in the situation prevented them from calling it genocide. If they had gotten involved, then there would have been a lot less killings.

5. Once the international community withdrew, the militia intensified the genocide.

6. President Clinton said that the international community, along with the nations of Africa, had to bear the responsibility of the tragedy.

Post-Genocide Rwanda questions (group 4)

1. Genocide destroyed the government, business, public utilities, and most other forms of civilization in Rwanda.

2. The rebuilding of a country that has suffered genocide begins with taking care of those who have been hurt by the conflict. The people can rebuild their lives on their own by finding homes and living lives as best they can. The government and the international community can provide relief to those who have been affected, and serve justice to those who have committed crimes.

3. Justice can be found in the people trying to imprison those who were responsible for the genocide. They may not be doing an extremely effective job, but they are trying.

4. Community courts can bring justice faster because they were actually present at the times of the crime.
