The Parisian investigating judges have dismissed the accusations against the French Army regarding its alleged inaction during the Bisesero massacres in Rwanda in 1994. The civil parties accused the French military-humanitarian mission Turquoise and France of complicity in genocide, claiming that they knowingly abandoned Tutsi civilians who were taking refuge in Bisesero, resulting in their massacre. However, the judges concluded that the French military forces did not become complicit in the crime of genocide and crimes against humanity. The dismissal order has been appealed by the civil parties. The genocide in Rwanda resulted in over 800,000 deaths.
