Qui osera juger les criminels de guerre ? (1997)
Jean-Bernard Menoud
6.6 QUI

"La communauté des nations s'est engagée à rendre justice, à combattre l'oubli et surtout à lutter contre l'impunité des criminels.C'est à La Haye et à Ashura en Tanzanie que le Conseil de Sécurité de l'ONU a décidé de mettre sur pied deux tribunaux internationaux pour juger respectivement les responsables de l'épuration ethnique en ex-Yougoslavie et les organisateurs du génocide au Rwanda. Parmi ces derniers, Alfred Musema, arrêté en Suisse en février 1995, est actuellement emprisonné à La Chaux-de-Fonds. Il devrait être prochainement transféré à Arusha pour être jugé par le tribunal pénal sur le Rwanda."

Hotel Rwanda
Terry George
6.6 HOT 2

"Ten years ago some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda and in an era of high-speed communication and round the clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, one million people were brutally murdered. In the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man summons extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees, by granting them shelter in the hotel he manages."
