Twenty years on, the United Nations Security Council has resolved that the 1994 genocide in Rwanda will now be referred to globally as the “Genocide against the Tutsi.”
The decision, made during the Security Council’s session on Thursday, is a major victory for the Rwanda government, which has lobbied aggressively to have the name recognised globally.
