EXHIBIT
The "Lessons from Rwanda" exhibit is a production of Aegis Trust for genocide prevention www.aegistrust.org (UK Registered Charity 1082856), in partnership with the United Nations Department of Public Information (UNDPI).
The exhibit forms part of "Lessons from Rwanda: The United Nations and the Prevention of Genocide” outreach programme established by UNDPI in accordance with the mandate provided by General Assembly resolution 60/225 of 23 December 2005. The programme's mandate was extended by General Assembly resolution 62/96 on 17 December 2007.
The exhibit presents an account of the events taking place before, during and after the genocide. Its purpose is to raise awareness of the lessons to be learnt from those events, the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and other judicial mechanisms in ending impunity and the lasting impact of genocide on survivors.
The exhibit - which is available in English, French and Kinyarwanda - was launched in New York at UN Headquarters on 30 April 2007 and has subsequently been displayed in Burkina Faso, Canada, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania.
