The Rwandan Gacaca Courts are far from the success story that many believe them to be. There is legitimate concern about the form and function of the Gacaca Court system in the future. Through discussion of restorative versus redistributive justice, this article concludes in the post-genocide context the Gacaca Courts were the best opportunity for Rwanda to attain some semblance of closure.

The article will outline some of the arguments for and against implementing a more formal judicial review of process. Concluding that while it is undeniable a better system of judicial review including review of the processes may not be possible, it would certainly be desirable.
