Rwanda and Darfur: The Media and the Security Council

Linda Melvern

University of Wales, Aberystwyth

The United Nations Security Council is central to the application of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This article examines the role of the Council in the circumstances of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and questions the secrecy of its decision making. It outlines the similarities between response to genocide in Rwanda and the mass human rights abuses in Darfur, Sudan. It questions the failure of the western press to provide adequate and timely information about both these tragedies.

Key Words: African Union • Darfur • humanitarian intervention • international justice • peace and security • peaceful settlement of disputes • peacekeeping • Rwanda • United Nations
