Abstract
This Human Rights Watch statement welcomes the UN Security Council's decision to send more troops to Rwanda with an expanded mandate to protect civilians. The statement also calls on the United States to stop "obstructing efforts" to ensure the immediate deployment of troops. He calls on the French government to use its influence to protect thousands of hostages held in a former refugee camp in Nyarushishi, after their transfer from a sports stadium in Cyangugu where they had been held for weeks in inhumane conditions.
