Project Commitments
The Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal project is guided by a commitment to provide to the world, especially the people of Rwanda, free and open access to these materials. As part of this commitment, whenever possible, we will release materials subtitled in Kinyarwanda as well as the language of the original material.
Access, Repurpose, RemixOur 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).
An Invitation to Create
If you have a specific project that you think could make use of the video clips and would like us to consider as an "early appropriation", please contact the project at:
tribunal(at)uw.edu
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.
