Justice in Rwanda

This news story makes me glad. While sending one man to jail does not justify their actions or forgive them for the horrid crimes they committed, it at least keeps them off the streets so their victims do not have to see their face again. And to finally credit a single individual for organizing the campaign that lead to over 800,000 people being killed in about 100 days is huge. The ability to bring an organized justice process to such a chaotic criminal spree shows the power and strength of international war tribunals. The ICTY and ICTR have both had major victories this year. Hopefully these will continue to lend credibility to the permanent International Criminal Court.
