Abstract

In April 1994 the world watched in horror as Rwanda's Hutu began slaughtering their Tutsi compatriots. In roughly one hundred days between 500,000 and a million people lost their lives, including 75 per cent of the Tutsi. New Zealand had a key role, right at the centre of the global response to this genocide, for it held the presidency of the United Nations Security Council when it began. New Zealand is recognised as exercising strong international leadership during this period. But the international community failed to respond in time to halt the genocide, especially because the council's permanent members were unsupportive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
