This was an email that was forwarded to me from the Genocide Intervention Network [wiki]. The organization is American oriented, however, they have a very global platform and have been very sucessful lobbying in Washington for populations affected in unstable regions. I like their focus, and I hope that more advocacy groups like this begin root in other places around the world. I thought I’d share the email with anyone who might be interested. For people who aren’t hanging out in Montreal (not that it’s not fun here) I hope you have a great summer!
April is a month where we bear testimony to some of the most gruesome atrocities of the twentieth century. Ironically, the century that brought us the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights also witnessed the Holocaust and genocides in Armenia, Cambodia and Rwanda.
sometimes profound insights of an artist, a scientist, a historian, an environmentalist, an activist, a humanitarian, a technophile, and a lone autocrat. And yes, though I am a second year student living in urban Montréal... I am on the verge of figuring out the meaning of life.
