Abstract
Human Rights Watch sends a letter to José Ayala Lasso, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, to share information on the ongoing genocide. The letter explains the current situation, in particular the distinction between the armed conflict between the RPF and the Rwandan army, and the massacre of unarmed civilians, mainly Tutsi, on the basis of their ethnicity. The letter names Rwandan officials responsible for the killings and urges José Ayala Lasso to put pressure on governments with influence over Rwanda to inform them that the Rwandan government will not benefit from any foreign aid or international recognition if the killings continue.
