Why were the UN Peacekeepers unable to stop the killing in the Rwandan Genocide?
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.”

Did the Czech Republic respond to the Rwandan genocide?
Hi there!
Yes, the Czech Republic did respond. The Czech Republic responded to the Rwandan genocide by being one of the first countries to call it an actual genocide. Many other countries were cautious to call it a genocide because that implied that they had to punish Rwanda (these countries being: the UK, US, etc). The Czech Republic suggested that Rwanda should split in half (the Hutu in one side and the Tutsi in the other). They suggested this because they had done this themselves earlier in 1993 when they "divorced" Slovakia (used to be Czechoslovakia, remember? :) ). The Czech Republic was furious that the countries in the Security Council were not responding quickly to the issue and were dilly-dallying there time. It was unacceptable to the new country.
