Co-author of Mobilizing the Will to Intervene, Kyle Matthews, will be taking part in a panel discussion on National Day of Remembrance and Action on Mass Atrocities
Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 7:00pm
Alumni Auditorium
University of Ottawa
The All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Prevention of Genocide and Other Crimes Against Humanity invites you to a panel discussion to mark the first annual National Day of Remembrance and Action on Mass Atrocities
Special guests:
Chaired and moderated by Mr. Allan Rock, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ottawa
On April 23rd, 2010, the Parliament of Canada officially recognized that day as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Mass Atrocities. April 23rd was chosen in honour of Lester B. Pearson’s birth date, Canada’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, and recognizes his commitment to peace and international cooperation to end crimes against humanity. This day now serves as a call for Canadians to commemorate those who have suffered in the past and to work towards preventing such atrocities from happening in the future. In the spirit of the day’s mandate, please join us in a panel discussion that will offer an overview of mass atrocities in the world today and the ways in which Canada can be part of their resolution.
For inquiries and RSVP, please contact Renée at prev-gen@parl.gc.ca
Despite the handwringing and promises of "never again," the grim recurrences of genocide and crimes against humanity around the world have made it emphatically clear that the international community has been largely ineffective in stopping mass atrocity crimes. Drawing on candid interviews with eighty key figures involved in American and Canadian responses to the Rwandan genocide of 1994 and the Kosovo crisis of 1999, Mobilizing the Will to Intervene explains why and provides a roadmap for change.
