Génocidaires (French pronunciation: [ʒenɔsidɛʁ]) are those who commit acts of genocide. The term was used initially in reference to Rwandans who are guilty of genocide due to their involvement in the mass killings which were perpetrated in Rwanda during the 1994 Rwandan genocide in which 800,000 Rwandans, primarily Tutsis and moderate Hutu, were murdered by the Interahamwe. In the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, Rwandans who organized and led the genocide were put on trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.^[1] Those guilty of lesser crimes, such as participation, profiting through seizing Tutsi property, and the like, were put on trial in gacaca courts. Today, the ICTR has indicted over ninety-three people for genocide.^[2] In 2020, Félicien Kabuga, the main financier of the Rwandan Genocide, was found in suburban France after evading capture for over twenty-six years.^[3]
