The Peace AllianceThe Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act, S.2551, was finally introduced into Congress, in the Senate. This is an important bill that we all need to get behind.
A little over twenty years ago, one million Rwandans were murdered in less than 100 days. What makes the genocide in Rwanda so unspeakable is not only the horror of the genocide itself, but that this genocide might have been preventable. What if we could have helped save many of those lives?
There are far too many examples historically, many still currently in the news now, others with potential to occur, but there is something that we can do to help mitigate this kind of horror. This new bill, introduced into Congress by Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD), can make a real difference. (House of Representatives bill forthcoming).
