What did the UN do to help the Holocaust?

Answer 1

Rwandan genocide occurred in 100 days in 1994. This was a fight for power involving the Tutsis and the Hutus ethnic groups. Hutus began to slaughter all Tutsis in the aim to demolish this entire ethnic group, an as a result, killing 800000 people.
1992 Ceasefire/ peace talks open
1993 UN began their peacekeeping mission
1994 President Habyarimana was killed near Kigali (Smith, D, 2003)

The world along with the UN failed to act and respond quick enough to stop these killings and end the genocide. 5500 UN troops were sent over to Rwanda, and international leaders were warned of the slaughters however no one believed or took any measures to prevent. (Murray, P, 2004)

"Rwanda's tragedy was the world's tragedy in their greatest hour of need; the world failed the people of Rwanda" General Kofi Annan.

Answer 2

The United Nations did not exist at the time of the Holocaust (the U.N. wasn't established until 1946, while the Holocaust occurred 1941-45).

Perhaps you mean the League of Nations, which was the predecessor to the U.N. If so, then the LoN did absolutely nothing, as it was effectively defunct upon the start of WW2.

Answer 3

The UN helped by protecting the Tutsis. They could not fully do their jobs.They were not aloud to use weapons and not aloud to protect themselves. So the UN could only do so much..
