Fulfilling the Responsibility to Protect: What Will it Take to End the “Age of Genocide” is an article published by the United States Holocaust Memorail Museum. It includes a presentation and interview by Samantha Power, author of the Pulitzer Prize winning book, “A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide”. The article was written in 2004 on the 10th anniversary of the Genocide in Rwanda. Much of what she says can be applied to the situation in DR Congo today.
She discusses how we can build a collective conscience so that “Never Again” really means Never Again, even if the people affected don’t have anything to give us in return.
Hopefully someone in the new administration will read this article and heed its call.
We need to bring the issue of what is happening in the DRC to the collective conscience of the world.
