Over one million individuals were ruthlessly hunted, tortured, and murdered as a result of perceived racial distinctions.

How can justice be served to the countless perpetrators? The solutions that the Rwandan Government created provide a valuable case study of communal forgiveness and creative homegrown solutions regarding justice.
