Setting up an international
court was a way of
punishing the perpetrators of
such crimes and
at the same time hopefully establishing a culture
of law. However, because the
court was inherently
foreign to the very society
that it was supposed to
be helping, international justice has forfeited any
impact on Rwandan society. By
so doing, it has failed to achieve both its social and educational functions.
