The chapter demonstrates that Human Rights Watch, Oxfam and Médecins sans frontières were indispensable sources of information about the events in Rwanda during the first weeks of the 1994 genocide, especially for the non-permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Also, Kseniya has recently prepared a policy brief for the ‘Providing for Peacekeeping’ project of the International Peace Institute, the Elliott School and the Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. The brief examines Ukraine’'s contributions to peacekeeping operations by the UN and regional organisations. It can be accessed here:
