Was the Rwandan Genocide indirectly caused by the United Nations?

Before the globalization of politics, important decisions that were to be made for "weaker" countries were usually made by "stronger" countries such as the western powers. An example would be that of Rwanda where the United Nations were stationed at before they left and gave control to the Tutsis. They gave governmental control to the Tutsis because they were perceived as more superior with their farming methods and everything.
Yet after a while, they passed the power to the Hutus, in a stint to provide equality they claimed. The Hutus, who had been living in "humiliation" while the Tutsis were ruling over the land, decided to exact revenge on the Tutsis and thus the extermination of the Tutsis began.

Yet if one were to think, this Rwandan Genocide might not have even happened in globalization were to step in earlier. With globalization, the Rwandan citizens would then have the power to choose who they wished to lead them to greater prospects instead of giving the decision making power to the Western power. This might then have not caused so much upset in the Rwandan committee and the genocide might not have occurred.
