How To Prevent Rwanda Genocide

There were many steps that the international community could have taken to prevent the genocide that would not have involved military action. Most countries had no investments or anything to gain from helping Rwanda, so little was done. Three of the five permanent members of the UN had reasons not to prevent the genocide. The US had nothing to gain, and France and China were supplying the government with arms.The United States was very loath to take any kind of action in Rwanda because Rwanda did not represent one of the country’s economic interests. They refused even simple means of interference, and even helped to impede other countries from taking action. Rwanda did not have all the technology available to more developed countries.
