Abstract
Human Rights Watch issues a press release calling on the UN Security Council to maintain UNAMIR forces in Rwanda. Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch at the time, said: "The orchestrated campaign of massacres of Rwandan Tutsis, who were targeted by the Rwandan army and armed militias of political parties in view of their extermination for no other reason than their ethnic belonging, constitutes genocide".
