Abstract
Under France's universal jurisdiction, two former Rwandan burgermeisters were brought to trial before the Cour d'Assises in Paris for taking part in the genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda. The trial before the lower Court was held in 2016, and the appeal in 2018. Members of a dislocated community, killers and survivors alike, were reunited more than twenty years after the fact. This article uses the filmed recordings of the trial to analyse the narratives of the genocide delivered to the public and its repercussions before figures of the French judicial system who were strangers to the local world that was summoned before the Court, and investigates how a trial on the genocide of the Tutsi unfolded in France.
