Ethical Issues In Hotel Rwanda
Trough watching the movie ‘Hotel Rwanda’ it shows a saddening and disheartening side of the Rwanda Genocide. The Rwandan Genocide began on the 6th of April 1994, where the Hutu population began mass slaughtering of the Tutsi. There were two different groups killing people they were, the Interahamwe and the Hutu rebellious. The genocide killed upwards of eight hundred thousand people mainly Tutsi, and created two million refugees. The genocide was a major mass killing where people still to this day being convicted of mass murdering and being jailed.
During Rwanda’s genocide there were two different ethnic groups fighting, they were the Hutu and the Tutsis. The Hutus were the original occupiers of the land, until the Tutsi found and arrived on the land in the fifteenth century. From the beginning the Hutu and Tutsi did not get along with each other but began to intergrat with one …show more content…
another, the relationship between the dominance of the country’s began to get worse. There were many changes in the leadership of the country swapping between the two groups, this lead to many fights and arguments, and overall this lead the mass genocide know and the Rwandan Genocide. There were many parties involved in the genocide, the two main mass murdering groups were the Interahamwe and the Hutu Rebels. The president Cyprien Ntaryamira plane was shot down and she was killed while traveling over the city of Kigali, due to this there was no peace agreement signed, the Hutus then believed it was the Tutsis who shot down the plane when I was proven to be the Hutu to trick everyone into believing that the Tutsis were bad people. This was the main reason the Rwandan Genocide occurred, and the reason that over eight hundred thousand people were killed.
The United Nations is an international group set up in 1945 following World War Two. The mission of the United Nations is to maintain the international peace and security, prevent conflict, helping parties in conflict make peace, peacekeeping, creating conditions for to allow peace to hold and flourish. Throughout the Rwandan Genocide the United Nations were sent is as peacekeepers not peacemakers. The difference between the two is that a peacemaker is a person, group or nation that attempts to make peace, especially by reconciling two parties who do not agree; whereas a peacekeeper is someone who maintains or restores peace and amity. The United Nations could not do much to help make peace through the genocide, as they cannot create peace but only keep it.
The social justice teachings cover all aspects of life including economic, political, personal and spiritual aspects.
The catholic teaching of ‘Life and dignity of the human person’ represents how shocked the world as human life is sacred and that the dignity of a human person is the foundation of the moral version of society. It shows how the nation were scared and worried for those that were going through it, it was unjust and unfair treatment that no one should have gone through. The catholic social teaching of ‘call to family, community and participation’, this represents the organisation of society in our economics and politics, in law and policy, directly affects how the community and how we grow. It was the reason international agencies became involved as it was not going to be stopped any other way, for example the military were sent in to protect and stop any more Tutsis from being killed; the United Nations were also sent in to protect people as they could control people without using violence. Both of these organisations worked together to stop and keep the peace in
Rwanda.
The tragedy of the Rwandan Genocide saw the world come in at a large extent and intervene to protect human life. The Genocide killed over eight hundred thousand people and left there to be two million refugees, with no where left to go. The genocide included to main ethnic groups of which included the Tutsis and Hutus. There were many organisations that contributed to making peace one of them was the United Nations, in which contributed to keeping peace in Rwanda. The catholic social teachings also associate with how the world reacted and helped through the Genocide. Therefore it can be seen how the Rwandan Genocide is a tragedy to the world and how the world and its people stepped in to help.
