Rwanda Adopts Genocide Report, Banning Genocide Ideology

Rwandan Cabinet adopted the contentious Parliamentary report on the genocide ideology Thursday, recommending the judiciary to examine and prosecute implicated persons for their individual responsibility.  

A cabinet statement released urged the prosecution to investigate the alleged acts and determine individual responsibility of all implicated persons and the role of Non Government Organizations in the genocide.

 

"The government recommends that relevant authorities, especially the prosecution and the courts of law, examine alleged acts by individuals, non-profit making organizations, and the civil society in general, and those found guilty be dealt with according to the law," the statement signed by Information Minister Prof. Laurent Nkusi, reads.

 

The Parliamentary report released in June by a Chamber of Deputies ad hoc commission led by Francois Munyurangabo, resolved the government can ban groups on grounds they actively worked against the government's reconciliation policy, propagated genocide ideas and groomed extremist grassroots opposition. The commission conducted a six-month nationwide investigation on genocide ideology and last year's killings of genocide survivors in Gikongoro Province.

 

The release appealed to donors, local and international NGOs still bent on divisive policies to own up and denounce such activities within their circles, advising them to follow a local NGO, La Ligue Rwandais pour la Promotion et la Defense pour de Droits de l'Homme (LIPRODHOR), one of the six implicated NGOs, which has owned up and sought pardon.

 

On September 11, the LIPRODHOR general assembly held a self-assessment meeting, denounced genocide-related acts by some of their members and asked the public and the government for forgiveness.
