Country Abbreviations

According to ABBREVIATIONFINDER, RWA is the three-letter country code of Rwanda, and RW is the two-letter country code of Rwanda. The two-letter suffix is used in top-level domains on the Internet as .rw.

Law

The court system includes courts of first instance for minor civil cases and minor criminal offenses, as well as courts of first instance for all major cases. In addition, there are courts of appeal and the Supreme Court in the instance. For the crimes related to the 1994 genocide, the traditional gacaca jurisdiction (»gacaca« = green area, meadow) was activated at community level. The procedures for this were opened between 2005 and 2012. At the international level, the so-called Rwanda Tribunal (International Criminal Court for Rwanda) was set up as a war crimes tribunal based in Arusha (Tanzania) under the responsibility of the UN. It was disbanded at the end of 2015.

Traditional and written law stand side by side, v. a. the civil and commercial law codes adopted from the former Belgian Congo. Many areas of law have been reorganized or modernized after independence in 1962, such as criminal law (1977), family law (1988) and parts of business law (Investment Act 1987, Company Law 1988). The death penalty was abolished in 2007.

Education

There is general compulsory schooling for ages 7 to 15. The school system is divided into a six-year primary and two-tier secondary level (3 years each). The official language of instruction is English (since 2010), and Kinyaruanda is also used. A shortage of funds and a shortage of teachers place narrower limits on school education. Among the public and private higher education institutions are the university (founded in 1963) in Butare and a college of technology and economics (founded in 1998) in Kigali.

Media

Free and independent reporting is often hindered by the state. The state radio »Radio Rwanda« is the most important source of information. There are several newspapers, including the weekly Imvaho Nshya, which is controlled by the state news agency RNA / ARI. The English-language daily newspaper “New Times” is privately owned but close to the government. »Umuseke« is independent. The state “Rwanda Broadcasting Agency” broadcasts radio programs in several languages ​​and a television program (“RTV”). There have been broadcasting stations for digital television since 2014. European international channels are also received, e.g. B. BBC World Service and Deutsche Welle, as well as pay TV from South Africa. The electronic infrastructure is growing rapidly, especially in the capital region.

Tourism

The development of the tourism industry is one of the main goals of the Rwandan government. The national parks (including the stock of mountain gorillas ), but also the country’s cultural and historical heritage, have primarily tourist potential.

Culture

Music, dance, handicrafts, and poetry are early art forms in Rwanda. They were mainly used at ceremonies and celebrations. The inanga, a zither, is one of the traditional musical instruments. The wooden string instrument accompanied the storytellers and reciters of praise poems. Successful new trends in popular music mix classical rhythms with modern elements from the fields of rhythm’n blues, gospel, folk and rap. Its most important representatives include: B. Cecile Kayirebwa ( * 1946 ), Massamba Intore ( * 1969 ) and James Ruhumuriza (* 1990) alias King James.

Alexis Kagame ( * 1912, † 1981 ) is an important name in Rwandan literature. The philosopher, historian, linguist and writer published poems and compiled the orally transmitted history of his country in his works.

Hand-woven baskets and other fine wickerwork are typical examples of the country’s handicrafts.

Today, art and culture, but also sport, are important pillars for the cohesion of the population. Above all, team sports are intended to connect and reconcile the various groups. Soccer is the most popular sport, but handball and volleyball are also popular. The most popular individual sports include marathons, triathlons and cycling. Internationally known is the Tour du Rwanda, an annual cycle race in nine stages that leads through the entire country.
