Project Vision

The Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal project is guided by a vision to provide to the world, especially the people of Rwanda, free and open access to these materials. As part of this vision, whenever possible, we will release materials subtitled or dubbed in Kinyarwanda as well as the language of the original material.

Access, Repurpose, Remix

Our intention is to enable as many innovative, derivative uses as possible. We are currently designing information systems to support appropriation and use within Rwanda, within the international justice system, and for the global public, now and into the future.

We imagine uses may include documentaries on Rwanda, textbooks discussing genocide, Pan-African justice capacity building, blogs, school projects, a handbook for future tribunals, plays, performances, legal curricula, and reconciliation projects within Rwanda.

License

To support appropriation, we are currently releasing the video clips under the Creative Commons Attribution license. This license states that you are free to copy, distribute and transmit the clips (share) and adapt them (remix). However, the material must be attributed to the "Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal" project (but not in any way that suggests that we endorse you or your use of this work).

Release of Collection

We anticipate releasing portions of the video interviews as our resources permit and in support of targeted projects. Depending on our ability to raise funds to carry out this work, we expect the entire collection to be available to the global public over the next few years.

The Archive

The original copy of the digital interviews are housed in the Special Collections of the University of Washington Libraries. To learn more about how we have secured the collection, please visit our security page.
