The author, a political officer at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations from 1993 to 1994, shares his opinions about the United Nations' failure to intervene in the Rwandan genocide, and argues that the bureaucratic culture of the organization allowed the U.N. to ignore its ethical commitment to try to stop the killings.
Diplomats, journalists, and survivors reflect on the 1994 Rwandaan genocide--a state-sponsored massacre of nearly one million Tutsis by Hutu extremists, discussing the actions and inactions of the international community in response to the tragedy.
