Rwanda’s Inyangamugayo
The Gacaca courts have been the subject of much academic work. Yet, few studies have examined the elected individuals who presided over Gacaca court trials, reflecting a broader paucity of research on local practitioners of transitional justice . Accordingly, this study asks two questions: (1) How did the Gacaca court judges, known as Inyangamugayo , perceive their duties to fight impunity and facilitate reconciliation? And (2) What challenges di…
We Came To Realize We Are Judges’

Although much has been written about these courts, researchers know comparatively less about the 250,000 individuals who served as Gacaca court judges (inyangamugayo). We draw upon 135 interviews to explore how the inyangamugayo entered and adapted to their new public roles as moral arbiters, how these judges understood Gaca…

Three types of prosecutions are considered: 1) inciting, organizing, or supervising violence; 2) killings and other physical assaults; and 3) offenses against property. By relying on syste…
