Génocidaires
Look up genocidaire in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Génocidaires (French pronunciation: [ʒenɔsidɛʁ]) are those who commit acts of genocide. The term was used initially in reference to Rwandans who are guilty of genocide for their involvement in the mass killings which were perpetrated in Rwanda during the 1994 Rwandan genocide in which 800,000 Rwandans, primarily Tutsis and moderate Hutus, were murdered by the Interahamwe. In the aftermath of the genocide, Rwandans who organized and led the genocide were put on trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.[1] Those guilty of lesser crimes, such as participation, profiting through seizing Tutsi property, and the like, were put on trial in gacaca courts. The ICTR has indicted over 93 people for genocide.[2] In 2020, Félicien Kabuga, the main financier of the Rwandan genocide, was found in a suburb of Paris, France, after he had evaded capture for over 26 years.[3] See also
