The Crime of Genocide committed by Paul Kagame's Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) - United Nations Human Rights, Office of the Commissioner.
The scale of the crimes committed against the Hutu ethnic group in the DRC, which probably involved tens of thousands of victims, are illustrated by the numerous incidents listed in the report (104 in all):
"The extensive use of edged weapons (primarily hammers) and the apparently systematic nature of the massacres of survivors after the camps had been taken suggests that the numerous deaths cannot be attributed to the hazards of war or seen as equating to collateral damage. The majority of the victims were children, women, elderly people and the sick, who were often undernourished and posed no threat to the attacking forces. Numerous serious attacks on the physical or mental integrity of members of the group were also committed, with a very high number of Hutus shot, raped, burnt or beaten. If proven, the incidents' revelation of what appears to be the systematic, methodological and premeditated nature of the attacks listed against the Hutus is also marked: these attacks took place in each location where refugees had allegedly been screened by the AFDL/APR1 over a vast area of the country. The pursuit lasted for months, and on occasion, the humanitarian assistance intended for
them was allegedly deliberately blocked... thus depriving them of resources essential to their survival. Thus the apparent systematic and widespread attacks described in this report reveal a number of inculpatory elements that, if proven before a competent court, could be characterized as crimes of genocide."
