Abstract
The purpose of the article is a comprehensive
analysis of the Rwandan genocide through the
prism of human rights violations. To achieve this
goal, such methods as historical-legal,
comparative, for mal-dogmatic, lo gical-semantic
and anal ysis were used. The article argues that
the acts of genocide clearly provide for the guilty
intent and use of a state mechanism that has all
the required human and material resources to
implement such a plan. This feature is one of the
key in terms of revealing the essence of genocide,
so it can differentiate these actions from the
general murder under criminal law and shows,
depending on the object of distribution - life,
health of a certain group of people - and motives
- national, ethnic , racial or religious intolerance,
hostility - its increased social d anger. It is
concluded that the incl usion of such a feature as
one of the basic to the universal definition is
urgent. This will allow to more fully implement
the principle of inevitability of punishment for all
perpetrators, to recognize the state as a subject of
responsibility and thus will contribute to a more
effective implementation of the preventive
function in the international arena. The combined
efforts of all nations and peoples are needed to
fight, combat and prevent the crime of genocide.
The positive results would b e achieved only by
joint efforts by using a set of various means of
combating genocide.
Key words: genocide in Rwanda, human rights
violations, t he na ture o f the crime of genocide,
international crime, prevention and
counteraction to the crime of genocide.
