There was a lack of international response to the Rwandan genocide due to a combination of factors including a lack of political will, competing interests of key global powers, and a failure to recognize the severity of the situation. This reveals a pattern of inaction and reluctance to intervene in genocides that may continue in the future unless there is a shift in how the international community prioritizes and responds to such atrocities.
in simpler terms?
The international community didn't step in to stop the Rwandan genocide because countries didn't want to get involved, had their own interests, and didn't fully understand how serious the situation was. This lack of response shows that unless something changes, the world might continue to ignore genocides in the future.
