Human rights have suffered seriously in Rwanda since the beginning of the war there on October 1, 1990. During the International Commission's investigation, which lasted from January 7-21, 1993, it visited five of the eleven prefectures - Kigali, Kigali-city, Gisenyi, Ruhengeri and Byumba. It gathered evidence from hundreds of witnesses and excavated two mass graves where victims of massacres had been buried. It investigated three major massacres - one at Kibilira in October 1990; the killings of Bagogwe, which took place in several communes from January through March 1991; and one in Bugesera in March 1992. In addition, it gathered evidence on other cases of communal violence, summary executions, assassinations and threats of assassinations, looting and destruction of property. The Commission concluded that both the government of Rwanda and the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) have been guilty of human rights abuses. (DÜI-Hff)

The Chilean artist José Venturelli was a supporter of Maoist China. This article, a brief political biography of Venturelli, shows how he acted on behalf of the People's Republic of China's informal diplomacy among Latin Americans and worked to promote Maoist politics among Latin American revolutionaries. The article also advances the hypothesis that Venturelli represents an archetype of the sort of international actor who was key to the globalization of revolutionary politics during the long 1960s.

International audience ; The re(b)ordering efforts made by states over the last three decades, for instance the securitization of some border areas and harsher visa policies, may denote an evolution of the international migration regime. The increase of migrant and refugee flows in the 1970s and 1980s (Hatton 2012), coupled with demographic and security challenges in developing countries (Geddes 2005), started to significantly alter an international migration regime that was essentially based on the notion of 'control' (Pécoud 2010; Georgi 2010). In the 1990s, the collapse of the Soviet bloc and the wars in Iraq and the former Yugoslavia added further policy makers' concerns about the regulation of permanent and temporary migrations and refugee flows. A new regime, based on a global policy agenda relying particularly on the concept of 'migration management', was originally formulated by Bimal Ghosh, in 1993. Ghosh further developed this concept of 'migration management' in the 1996 project known as the New International Regime for Orderly Movements of People (NIROMP), funded by the Swedish, Dutch and Swiss governments (Ghosh 2000). Ghosh proposed a comprehensive international migration regime, designed to tackle what was perceived as current and future migration policy crises, and focuses on both migrants and refugees (Geiger and Pécoud 2010). Yet, Sassen argues that these two categories, migrants and refugees, cannot be merged: "there are separate regimes for refugees in all these countries and an international regime as well, something that can hardly be said for immigration" (1996, 64). Nonetheless, Ghosh's 'migration management' approach was welcomed and later borrowed by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). This notion of 'migration management' became a mantra of the IOM, "committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society" (IOM 2015e).
