The Peacekeepers were perfectly capable of stopping Rwanda. In fact, in the first few days, they made significant improvement. However, because of a bad mandate from the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), They were unable to continue.

“The UN catastrophe in Rwanda was not the fault of the UNAMIR force. Indeed, Force commander Lieutenant General Romeo Dallaire and his undermanned and largely abandoned (by UN headquarters in New York) force had saved thousands of lives before being pulled out. It was the fault of a more fundamental failure of the entire UN system. The mission’s vague mandate was unclear about the use of force, particularly in defense of civilians.”

What are facts about genocide?
Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.The term "genocide" was coined by Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959), a Polish-Jewish scholar, 1944, firstly from Latin "gens, gentis" meaning "birth, race, stock, kind" or the Greek root "genos" with the same meaning; secondly from Latin -cidium (cutting, killing) via French -cide.Genocide does not necessarily have to mean killing or massacring by murder or military action. Genocide can come in various forms including: starvation, deplacement, serious bodily or mental harm, lowering quality of life to the point where the culture is unable to sustain itself and grow, imposing measures to prevent birth within the group or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.Some examples of genocide include: transatlantic slave trade, genocide of the Native Americans, the Herero Genocide, the Armenian Genocide, the Great Famine/ Ukrainian Genocide, Rape of Nanking, the Holocaust, Mao Tse-Tung's Cultural Revolution, the Cambodian Genocide, Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Genocide in Darfur.

Why did the actions of the Khmer Rouge not fit the classic definition of genocide?
The Khmer Rouge committed the "Cambodian Genocide", but the name is a misnomer and the reason for this is specifically why it does not fit the classic definition of a genocide. The elimination of over 1.5 million Cambodians is more properly called the "Cambodian Democide". The distinction is that a genocide is a specific targeting of a group for extermination based on some inherent characteristic (race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, political leanings, etc.). The Khmer Rouge killed anyone who disagreed with the aims of the regime or was unable to comply with the arbitrary and ridiculous standards required by the regime. Therefore, their actions do not target a specific group and are not a genocide. A democide is simply mass killing performed intentionally by a regime, without regard to inherent characteristics.
