Preventing Genocide: A Conversation with Ambassador Susan Rice

December 9th, 2009

Below is a press release I was emailed concerning a Genocide webcast that I plan to watch Thursday night.

It’s important for us to be informed and lift our voices on this issue, and Dr. Rice is great. I did this profile on her when she first got appointed to the United Nations.

On December 8 last year the Genocide Prevention Task Force released its report,Preventing Genocide: A Blueprint for U.S. Policy Makers, explaining why genocide and mass atrocities threaten core American values and national interests and recommending how the U.S. government can work to prevent these crimes in the future.
