Linda Melvern's classic, investigative account of the Rwandan genocide, now with copious new material drawing on information that came to light during the 2022 trial of Félicien Kabuga, the alleged financier of the genocide.

The 1994 genocide against the Tutsi claimed the lives of one million people. Today, troubling questions remain about how, inthe face of indisputable evidence of the ongoing genocide, the governments on the UN Security Council failed to intervene. Following thirty years of research, including analysis of recently declassified government archives, this newly revised and expanded edition of Linda Melvern's classic investigative journalism shows how policymakers continue to refuse to properly acknowledge their responsibilities under international law--back cover.

A People Betrayed is a masterly and insightful reference for our understanding of international obligations in the prevention of genocide.
