  Justice Compromised: Legacy of Rwanda's Community-based Gacaca Courts

  Leslie Haskell

  This report acknowledges the enormous challenges the Rwandan government faced in choosing a system that could rapidly process tens of thousands of cases in a way that would be broadly accepted by the population. It explains the government's decision to use gacaca to deal with the extraordinary circumstances it faced after the genocide and describes the government's attempt to strike a balance between conventional due process and the overwhelming need for swift justice.

  Genocide by denial: how profiteering from HIVAIDS killed millions

  Peter Mugyenyi

  Traces the carnage of HIV/AIDS from its Ugandan epicentre in the villages of Kasensero, along the shores of Lake Victoria, through sub-Saharan Africa and onto the rest of the world. The author's involvement in the struggle against the virus started in 1989, soon after his return from a long exile in Europe and the Middle East. ... In this book the author exposes the incredible self-indulgence of the pharmaceutical companies and the cold-heartedness of the rich world that turned a blind eye until it was far too late, and then responded too slowly with too little.
