Rwanda Genocide 1

1994 The U.N. Security Council passes a resolution condemning the killing, but omits the word "genocide." Had the term been used, the U.N. would have been legally obliged to act to "prevent and punish" the perpetrators.

Samantha Power's chilling summary in the September 2001 issue of The Atlantic of her three year investigation into how the U.S. passed up countless opportunities to intervene in the 1994 Rwanda genocide in which 800,000 Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus were murdered. Also, read Power's FRONTLINE article "Never Again" - The World's Most Unfulfilled Promise" which examines America's response to genocide since the Holocaust.

"The Triumph of Evil" is a vivid and revealing report on how the 1994 Rwanda genocide could have been prevented.
Drawing on dramatic footage, previously confidential cables and interviews with U.N. and U.S. officials, FRONTLINE investigates how months earlier the U.S. and U.N. had been warned by a key Rwandan informant about the coming slaughter. Despite the warning, the West didn't try to prevent it. And once the genocide started, didn't try to halt it. In just 100 days, the Hutu majority of Rwanda murdered an estimated 800,000 of their Tutsi countrymen--a rate of killing that was faster than the Nazis.
