PRI is pleased to invite you to the Launch of a new publication Eight Years On… A Record of Gacaca Monitoring in Rwanda which will take place on July 1st 2010 with the kind support of Shearman and Sterling (London) LLP. The publication, is a single volume compilation bringing together all of PRI's previous reports on the Gacaca process and drawing some conclusions on it.
PRI has carried out independent monitoring of the Gacaca courts in Rwanda since they became operational in 2001 in response to the crimes committed during the 1994 genocide. PRI’s monitoring has been formulated around a programme of ‘action research’, designed for a team of local researchers to capture the perceptions and experiences of key stakeholders, namely genocide survivors, witnesses, detainees, civil society organizations and government staff, in the Gacaca process.
This publication will be an accurate record of the work done by PRI made available in an easily accessible form. It will make a useful contribution to the ongoing discussion on models of transitional justice in post-conflict societies.
The report will be made available to donors, policy makers, government officials, institutions, libraries and universities and made available through seminars and events. It will also be made available to a wider audience through our website and regional offices. The publication will be bi-lingual, in both English and French. Please note this publication will be available to order in hard copy from PRI after 1 July and can also be downloaded from our website www.penalreform.org.
