    Kenya is one of the first beneficiaries of "Operation Monogram," the British government's counter-terrorism training and equipment foreign assistance program, because it shares a border with war-torn Somalia and because of its own experience of terrorist attacks. Research by Human Rights Watch has now provided hard evidence of abuses by Kenyan security forces that received British training. The British government should be working proactively to ensure that these security forces act according to the law. The US, which is involved in the same places for the same reasons, should follow suit.

    In 1994 soldiers of the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) killed thousands of civilians, in the process committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. A U.N. Commission of Experts concluded that the RPA had "perpetrated serious breaches of international humanitarian law" and "crimes against humanity." The Security Council established the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to prosecute not just the genocide that had devastated Rwanda but also "other systematic, widespread and flagrant violations of international humanitarian law" (Security Council Resolution 955, 1994), including those committed by members of the RPA.
