Résumé
The report submitted by the members of the Duclert commission to President Emmanuel Macron presents a detailed chronicle of France's role in Rwanda from 1990 to 1994. Based on more than 8,000 documents, partly unpublished, this exercise does not, however, escape the limits and difficulties that the writing of history in committee generates. Articulated around the contribution of the report on France's positioning vis-à-vis international justice in 1994, this article intersects the question of access to sources with that of historian questioning.
