| Summary: | Starting from post-1945 war crimes trials, prosecutors have attempted to inhibit the repetition of similar offenses. Various news sources, speeches, and radio broadcasts incited Hitler’s followers to acts of violence that were subsequently successfully prosecuted. Fifty years later, prosecutors confronted the Rwandan Genocide. After that catastrophe, defendants associated with various news sources, speeches, and radio broadcasts that had incited violence against Tutsis, moderate Hutus, Belgians, and others, now faced charges of war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity, thanks to domestic legislation that Rwanda adopted in 1996. |
