Preventing Genocide Activity Four (Extension Activity)

Choose one of the following questions to reflect upon in your blog:

• Do you think, if a similar situation to the genocide in Rwanda arose today, the UN would respond more effectively?

• The failure of the international community to respond to the genocide in Rwanda is often regarded as a failure of 'political will' by UN member states. How does the UN 'Framework of Analysis for Atrocity Crimes' attempt to address this failure?

• Do you think all genocides are preventable?

Your blog should be approximately 250 words. When you have completed your blog and posted it online, be sure to send out a tweet to advise your peers. You may also like to view the posts of other students to gain a range of perspectives on the issue of preventing genocide.
