Supporters of US prosecutors argue that cultural accountability for the 1994 genocide transcends borders, maintaining that US courts must hold Nshimiye responsible to honor victims' memory and prevent impunity.

Supporters of US prosecutors argue that nations bear a God-given moral duty to pursue justice for genocide, invoking scripture that the innocent's blood cries out for accountability before divine law.
