Rwanda: Tribute to Courage, a book from African Rights, is a collection of remembrances from survivors and witnesses of the genocide, told publicly for the first time. The book names men and women who risked their lives to save others and tells the compelling stories of their achievements. These are moving accounts of fear and gratitude, of human triumphs in the face of catastrophe. African Rights is now asking the Government of Rwanda to undertake a new, in-depth and broad-ranging inquiry in order to draw up an expanded official list of genocide heroes, to publicise their deeds and to create a memorial to them. Tribute to Courage reveals the spirit of humanity which was alive through one of the most brutal episodes of recent history. It is based upon personal accounts of how empathy and determination overcame apprehension and self-interest, and constitutes an important record of what one person can achieve against the greatest odds. The events described in this book should be an inspiration in the search for peace in Rwanda and beyond. But despite the passage of time, awareness of them is limited.

This publication examines U.S. undermining of multilateral treaty regimes on nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, landmines, global warming, and international justice. "This book provides a comprehensive overview of how, at a time when Americans are keenly aware of international threats to peace and security, the United States is systematically undermining the International Criminal Court and other mechanisms that would reduce those threats," says Jayne Stoyles, former Program Director, NGO Coalition for the International Criminal Court.

Increasing attention around the world is being paid to scaling up responses to HIV/AIDS. As part of such efforts, systems and programmes are being established and expanded to provide funding and technical support to local NGOs and CBOs for HIV/AIDS work, and to promote co-ordination and partnership between NGOs and governments. The HIV/AIDS NGO/CBO Support Toolkit is an electronic library of resources about NGO/CBO support that have been collated by the Alliance from a wide range of organisations, based on the understanding that there are many viable approaches to NGO/CBO support programming. These resources are available on CD-ROM as well as at the web site Copies of the CD-ROM can be ordered from the web site or by emailing [email][email protected]
