title: Rwandan Gacaca Community Justice
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A Rwandan practice of community-based justice assemblies that address
|
|
conflict and, in the post-genocide period, were adapted to try cases of
|
|
genocide-related crimes. Rooted in traditional Rwandan gacaca (literally
|
|
"on the grass") gatherings where elders resolved disputes.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Convene on the grass
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The community gathers outdoors, in the presence of inyangamugayo
|
|
(persons of integrity) who serve as judges. The gathering is public
|
|
and community-wide.
|
|
- headline: Hear the case
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The accused and those harmed are both heard, with witnesses and
|
|
community members free to speak to what they know and saw.
|
|
- headline: Establish truth
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The inyangamugayo and community together establish what happened,
|
|
drawing on collective memory and witness, aiming for a shared
|
|
account that the community can accept.
|
|
- headline: Determine reparation
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly determines reparation — confession, apology,
|
|
restitution, or community service — oriented toward reconciliation
|
|
and reintegration.
|
|
- headline: Pronounce and reintegrate
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The decision is pronounced in the presence of the community. The goal
|
|
is reintegration of the offender into community, not isolation.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Cases are heard and resolved within the community, with truth
|
|
established collectively and reparation oriented toward reconciliation.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Gacaca is demanding — it asks the community to face its own. It is not a
|
|
substitute for formal justice where crimes are severe, but a complement
|
|
rooted in communal accountability. |
