The ignorant bystander: Britain and the Rwandan genocide uses a
case study of Britain's response to the genocide to explore what
factors motivate humanitarian intervention in overseas crises. The
Rwandan genocide was one of the bloodiest events in the late
twentieth century and the international community's response has
stimulated a great deal of interest and debate ever since. In this
study, Dean White provides the most thorough review of Britain's
response to the crisis written to date. The research draws on
previously unseen documents and interviews with ministers and
senior diplomats, and examines issues such as how the decision to
intervene was made by the British Government, how media coverage
led to a significant misunderstanding of the crisis, and how
Britain shaped debate at the UN Security Council. The book
concludes by comparing the response to Rwanda, to Britain's
response to the recent crises in Syria and Libya. -- .
