This chapter reviews the ways in which several top UN officials handled the Rwanda crisis: Kofi Annan and Iqbal Riza in DPKO, James Jonah and Marrack Goulding in DPA, Jacques-Roger Booh Booh and Roméo Dallaire in UNAMIR, and Madeleine Albright and Ibrahim Gambari in the Security Council. What were their approaches to UNAMIR and to peacekeeping? How did they cope with the Rwanda events, with the distinction between ‘technical’ and ‘political’ roles established by Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali, and with the blurring of functions in both New York and Kigali? And can we speak of leadership at all in relation to them—did these officials have a vision and a sense of purpose, or were they simply bureaucrats handling a complex emergency?
