Rwanda — Law N°59/2018 on the crime of genocide ideology and related offences

Republic of Rwanda · Official Gazette

tlte-cite:rwanda-art-116

Editorial gloss

Rwanda's genocide-ideology law. Cited as a cautionary comparator — the Atrocity-Denial Gap analysis flags that overbroad genocide-ideology offences have been criticised by UN treaty bodies (CCPR concluding observations on Rwanda) for chilling lawful speech. The desk uses Rwanda to argue for narrow Rabat-disciplined statutes, NOT for adoption of the Rwandan model.
