Abstract: | Conclusion Overall, the leading Western states responded to genocide in the 1990s with too little, too late. Their political leaders
chose a shortsighted strategy of denial, obfuscation, and deception rather than live, up to their solemn obligation to stop
genocide. Humanity suffered greatly as a consequence. However, if genocide scholars can join and give direction to the ongoing
debate within the national security community about how to prevent future Rwandas and Srebrenicas, then there is some hope
that this new century may be less barbarous than the one we just left. |
