Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda was set up by the United Nations in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide. Scholars have examined the emergence of the Tribunal and celebrated its contributions to prosecution of gender-based violence and the development of "women?s human rights norms." In this paper, however, I raise a different set of questions about gender, human suffering, and nascent human rights institutions. With what consequences have international bureaucracies like the ICTR come to be the primary institutions responsible for interpreting and addressing social suffering in the on-going Central African conflicts? I suggest that the legal and bureaucratic machinery of the International Tribunal must always filter victims? experiences to fit its own institutional needs. I argue that this may, at times, have unintended and counter-productive consequences for women testifying at the Tribunal, our understanding of genocide and mass violence, and the development of emancipatory human rights institutions
