Children who were allegedly involved in the genocide of Rwandan Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 1994 have been held at Gitagata re-education centre, south of Kigali, Rwanda. In order to be able to leave, they must confess their crimes and appear to acknowledge the serious nature of the crimes. The re-education centre, opened in 1997 after international protests about children being held in adult jails, offers some degree of freedom. Almost all Rwandan children suffered terrible experiences during the genocide, and many witnessed murders.

Quite often, such NGOs have become as important, if not more important than peacekeeping forces. However, despite their dedication to the thankless tasks of caring for refugees and victims of civil strife, they are often as ill-equipped as soldiers in dealing with the moral dilemmas encountered in the course of their work.
