Abstract
Rwanda offers one of the most unique and important cases for understanding the role of apologetic discourse in reconciling communities torn apart by violence and genocide. To help overcome the hatred that led to the 1994 Tutsi genocide, the Rwandan government instituted the gacaca court system, which calls for perpetrators to repent and apologize. This article provides a foundation for understanding apologetic exchanges in Rwanda's gacaca trials and broadens the current theories of apologetic rhetoric by describing the roles (and implications) of third-party participants in Rwandan apologies.
