Abstract
The study aims at interrogating the Rwanda conflict (1993 – 2004) with a view to ascertaining the extent of the United Nation’s involvement in the conflict and the roles played by the warring parties; Tutsi and Hutu ethnic nationalities in escalating the crisis. The study adopted the qualitative research method by gathering information from different sources that are relevant to the content. The ideology of ethnic division and hatred between Hutu and Tutsi ethnic nationalities was heightened by colonial administrative policies which favoured one group against the other by introducing an asymmetric poorer structure and class division among the people. Tutsi unequal social structure that placed Tutsi at the helm of affairs became a flash point and the main source of the ethnic violence that later plunged Rwanda into genocide in 1994 where over 800,000 lives were lost. The main objectives of this work therefore is to ascertain the political implications of the United National involvement in the Rwanda crisis of 1994 – 2003. The frustration-aggression theory was used as the theoretical framework of analysis. The work revealed that Rwanda genocide would have been averted if the United Nation had taken stringent and urgent measures. This was as a result of lack of political will by the Secretarial and the Security Council of the U.N.O. to make bold decisions and develop necessary mechanisms to create information and preventive measures.
