Description: More information: http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/video/video_prod_en.cfm?type=detail&prodid=522 Human rights throughout the world In Rwanda in 1994 an estimated one million Tutsi men, women and children were slaughtered at the hands of government soldiers. In response to this, the UN established the International Criminal Tribunal in neighbouring Tanzania to try the perpetrators of the killings - its creation was to be a signal that the world would not tolerate crimes of genocide. The tribunal holds individual war crime suspects responsible for their actions, rather than entire communities.

expat1967 ::: Favorites A very important piece to have available to the public. It carries an important message that no one should be immune from punishment, regardless of their status. 07-07-03 05:06:07 _____________________________________________________
norwegianstudent20 ::: Favorites If it sounds to good to be true, it usualy is. Human rights, and international law is mostly created in the West. So I don`t think many people outside the west, feels any comitment to a system they haven`t taken any part of building. I think the internatinoal courts taking place outside the West, for the most part, is sending a signal to the "sivilized" West, and not to anybody else. 07-07-03 16:50:39 _____________________________________________________

troydavis1 ::: Favorites excellent, I wish that more people realized how important it is important to implement the simple principle that everyone posseses the same human dignity. But to do so really, Europe should try to become History's first "ethical superpower", then try to convince other powers to work together to transform the present global political architecture based on power to one based on human dignity and human rights and responsabilities. 07-07-15 17:08:31 _____________________________________________________
HubbleMedia ::: Favorites Does it matter who took the initiative if something good is being accomplished? The importance of an international court system is not determined by who happens to be doing it. If your nation wants more involvement, then they should get more involved. I have a feeling the EU won't stop anyone from holding the leader of a genocide responsible for their actions. 07-07-19 10:35:05 _____________________________________________________

grayabc1234 ::: Favorites What about MY human rights? I have, against my will, been made a 'citizen' of the EU, when I wish to be a British citizen. Moreover, nobody in Britain has ever voted to be in the European Union, which has incredible powers over my countrymen, and if there was a referendum on British membership of the EU, I am 100% sure British people would vote to leave. The EU has no 'right' to legislate over Britain. 07-07-31 10:01:04 _____________________________________________________
