Rutayisire is currently the Director of the National Curriculum Development Centre in Rwanda, where he leads policy development in curriculum, textbooks, language in Education, and most recently has been appointed Chairperson of the Teacher Development and Management Policy. In this video clip, filmed when he attended a Facing History Summer institute in 2004, Rutayisire gives his assessment of the effectiveness of gacaca tribunals in Rwanda.
Transcription of video clip:
"I view gacaca as the renaissance of justice; renaissance of the culture of Rwanda. Gacaca is a system that is understood by all Rwandans: they know what it means, they know what it has achieved in the past, and in spite of the problems related to human resource, to capacity, gacaca is a system to me that is going to work....There is nothing that is perfect in this world, but I give it a lot of hope, and a lot of Rwandans give it a lot of hope that it's going to work."
