hotel rwanda is a good one.
- human rights issue of discrimination, also of war crimes and genocide. basically two ethnic groups in rwanda. Hutu and Tutsi. a Hutu militia group wanted to cleanse the country of all Tutsi people, and any Hutu's who didnt co-operate.
- a legal remedy is the UN's attempts at peacekeeping. (for that you could say stuff about how the UN's mandate of not being allowed to engage in gunfire affected their ability to protect. you can also talk about how General Dalliare (head of the peacekeeping team), had information about an arms stockpile that the militia were going to use but the UN didn't allow them to secure it to avoid the confrontation. as a result the uprising went ahead and almost a million civilians were killed in 100 days.

- a non legal remedy is the media - you can talk about how little information was getting out to the media, but about brave reporters who revealed to the world the horrible incidence occuring in the country.

hope that helps! good luck
