Abstract
Six years after the genocide of the Tutsi, the Rwandan justice system is on the verge of paralysis: 120,000 prisoners are awaiting trial. With an unchanged procedure, it would take more than 160 years to judge most of the prison population. Also, the establishment throughout the country of jurisdictions inspired by the traditional gacaca procedure is on the way to become the norm since the vote, this fall, of a bill.
