Genocide As A Global Issue

Derived the following from genocideintervention.org :
To prevent genocide from continuing to occur in the
twenty-first century, we have a responsibility to
protect civilians who are being victimized by
countries unwilling or unable to halt ongoing
atrocities.
Samantha Power, in 'A Problem from Hell': America and
the Age of Genocide, highlights five examples of
genocide in the past:
·Armenia: More than 1,000,000 deaths (1915–1917)
·The Holocaust: 6,000,000 deaths of Jews; 5,000,000
deaths of Poles, Roma, communists and other
"undesirables" (1938–1945)
·Cambodia: 2,000,000 deaths (1975–1978)
·Bosnia: 200,000 deaths (1992–1995)
·Rwanda: 800,000 deaths (April 6 through mid-July of
1994)
·Darfur: Hundreds and thousands of deaths (2003
through today)

The following link provides details on the causes and duration of each incident. Warning for the sensitive: There are disturbing images displayed as well.

Unfortunately I used to think genocide was an African
problem. However, I have come to learn that it is a
world problem. Better yet it is a low consciousness
issue. When the consciousness of humanity is raised to
a certain level, genocide will be considered by all to
be an abomination, and it will have not even a fraction
of space on this planet. However it's left to us to ensure this.
