Alongside the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide has perhaps generated more soul searching and retrospective analysis than any other humanitarian tragedy in the twentieth century. It also spawned countless evaluations and “lessons learned” reports, and served as a key impetus for the establishment of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS). As the genocide abated, Rwanda became noteworthy for several firsts: two presidents were killed in a single incident; the highest death toll of any modern-day African crisis; the largest singleday movement of refugees in recorded history (250,000 into Tanzania); and the largest refugee camp in the world (some 300,000 Rwandans housed at the Benaco camp near Ngara, Tanzania).2
