Alice Wairimu Nderitu, the UN Under-Secretary-General and Special Advisor to UN Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide, described Rwanda as a beacon to the world of what healing and reconciliation looks like.
She was speaking at a conference that focuses on the art and science of peace, resilience and transformational justice, in Kigali, on July 26.
Organized by Aegis Trust, together with the Ministry of National Unity and Civic Engagement, University of Rwanda, and Tufts University, the conference brought together members of international organization, academicians, activists, and people involved in building peace in their own communities, among others.
Knowing a testimony of a Genocide survivor woman who decided to forgive and adopt a man who killed her biological son, Nderitu said it is very difficult to imagine that thinking and what kind of human being does that.
