Both the Rwandan Genocide and the 9/11 attacks elicited strong international reactions, with condemnation, calls for justice, and assistance provided to the affected populations. However, the response to the 9/11 attacks was more immediate and unified, with widespread support for U.S. action against terrorism, while the international community was criticized for its slow response to the Rwandan Genocide. Ultimately, the 9/11 attacks led to the global War on Terror, while the Rwandan Genocide prompted discussions on the need for early intervention in cases of genocide and mass atrocities.
