In 1994, Canadian General Romeo Dallaire, commander of the United Nations Mission in Rwanda, warned of possible mass murder of the Tutsi minority by Hutu extremists. Unheeded by UN officials in New York, his warning became a reality; yet, as General Dallaire tried to save lives, the UN Security Council withdrew nearly all his troops.
In a conversation with Ted Koppel at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on June 12, 2002, General Dallaire reflected on a genocide that he could not stop and that he cannot forget.
This short video combines portions of that extraordinary program with background information on the Rwanda genocide in order to raise one of the central questions of our time. What is our moral responsibility when an entire group of people is threatened with annihilation?
