This book explores the potential responsibilities to respect,
protect and fulfill international human rights law (IHRL) of a
particular class of non-state actors: non-governmental
organizations (NGOs). It calls for NGOs pursuing development to
respect and fulfill the human right of genocide survivors to
reparative justice in Rwanda. It argues that NGOs have social and
moral responsibilities to respect and fulfill IHRL, and for greater
accountability for them to do so. The book focuses on those NGOs
advancing development in a post genocide transitional justice
context acting simultaneously in partnership with state
governments, as proxies and agents for these governments, and
providing essential public goods and social services as part of
their development remit. It defines development as a process of
expanding realization of social, economic, and cultural rights
addressing food security, economic empowerment/poverty reduction,
healthcare, housing, education, and other fundamental human needs
while integrating these alongside the expansion of freedoms and
protections afforded by civil and political rights. It uses post
genocide Rwanda as a case study to illustrate how respect and
fulfillment of the IHRL pertaining to reparative justice are
hindered by failing to hold NGOs responsible for IHRL.
Consequently, this results in discrimination against,
marginalization, and the disadvantaging of survivors of the Rwandan
genocide against the Tutsi and violations of their human rights.
