Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP Attorney Megan M. Westberg authored "Rwanda's Use of Transitional Justice After Genocide: The Gacaca Courts and the ICTR" for the January 2011 issue of the University of Kansas Law Review.
Nearly a million citizens of Rwanda were estimated to have been massacred in an ethnically motivated genocide. In the aftermath, the country faced great difficulty in processing the cases related to the genocide. Westberg's article examines the concept of "transitional justice," the origination of the Gacaca court system and the system's effectiveness when compared to the United Nation's International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
