Considers the lessons learned from the Rwandan genocide on its tenth anniversary. The new Rwandan Constitution is geared toward addressing the social damage, the danger to peace and stability posed by an ideology of ethnic exclusiveness, the question of justice for those who committed crimes of genocide, and aid provision to genocide survivors. The inaction and impotence of the United Nations in 1994 is noted, along with the role of the mass media and external forces in the genocide.
