After viewing the video Genocide: The Horror Continues and reading the brief from the United Nations International Tribunal for Rwanda, answer the following questions:

1. Should the United States have taken the lead in getting the international community to intervene and try to stop this atrocity? Explain.
2. After reading the brief and learning about the challenges faced, do you think the United Nations International Tribunal for Rwanda and the international justice system, as a whole, can make a difference?

In response to your peers’ posts, comment on the strengths and weaknesses of the international justice system versus U.S. law in relation to this example.
