What you need to know:

  • Unless the world community becomes more united around a common human rights agenda and equitable system of crime and punishments, we shall witness yet more avoidable mass killings and empty recriminations afterwards.

  • The memory of the victims of the Tutsi and other genocides will best be served by the establishment of an effective global regime of crime and punishment for the perpetrators.
