Genocides were around for 150 years and millions of people were killed, tortured, and separated from their families due to a genocide. A genocide is the massive killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation. The Holocaust is an example of a genocide that happened in 1933-1945. During this genocide, the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler wanted to get rid of all Jews either by killing them in a gas chamber, working them to death, getting them into groups and killing all of them at once. During this genocide around 6 million jews and millions of others were killed. We can’t let any more of these horrific events to happen in the future and our world can’t be defined as the world with multiple genocides. Our …show more content…

The US have the power and the supplies to overcome the perpetrators of any genocide. Our country is the most powerful country in the world based on features like economy, military and technology. The United States Armed Forces have a bigger advantage to stopping a genocide and protect the people that are in a genocide war zone. Having the most powerful army in the world and being one of the most richest country in the world with more than $120 trillion dollars, the military have access to bigger and more forceful weapons. During the Iraq War, the United States Army cut off the supplies of the Iranian Army because the United States Army had the money to buy the equipment needed to lower the supplies of the Iranian Army. Therefore, there is no reason why the United States can’t stop a genocide if they have all the money to get better supplies and the power to stop any …show more content…

People that are currently in a genocide war zone are living in fear, fear of being killed, tortured, or fear of losing everything they have. As the genocide goes by people would have seen the murders of children and families, bombings in villages, people getting separated from their families, and so much more. As a result of this many people can be haunted by memories or be traumatized for years. By sending the US troops to a region in this situation they can protect and guard the innocent people and the US troops can also provided medical aid to the injured and provided food and shelter to those who have none. Today, the US army helps people by giving them food and shelter after any major natural disaster for example the US arm provided supplies to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Also, the US army currently protects the borders of the country to protect citizens from any attacks. If the US military can also do this in other countries that are in a current genocide then the people of that region would feel safer and they would finally know that someone is there to protect them not kill them. The United States armed forces must go to a region experiencing a genocide to help the people living there have less fear of their

Over the past few centuries, our world has stood by while thousands of people in different countries were murdered. We did not learn from our mistakes because history has repeated itself multiple times, allowing a leader with too much power to manipulate others into turning against a certain group of people. In the Armenian Genocide, Abdulhamid II was the leader who was given too much power and the Armenians were unfortunately the victims. They were targeted and killed because they were not wanted in the Ottoman Empire. In just 8 years, 1.5 million Armenians died (Whitehorn).

Over the past decade the United States has provided over $7.5 billion in funding for humanitarian, transition, and peacekeeping assistance for vulnerable populations in Darfur and eastern Chad.” (state.gov). This shows that some people do care about humanity. At this point of time, many people aren’t really that surprised when it comes to killings or genocides.

The American Government 's Response to The Rwandan Genocide The United States often have an had interest in the political, social and civil crises of other countries in order to benefit themselves. American senior officials hid the truth of the Rwanda Genocide to avoid public moral obligation. The government did not give any financial or political support to the country because Rwanda did not offer minerals or political advantages and stability; the US ' government did not want to be involved in another conflict, even though it has helped other countries in the past.1 But what is truly deeper hidden, are the stories of people like Immacule, a young girl, who, unlike thousands of others, survived the catastrophic genocide in Rwanda.

The main reasons to why this atrocity happens in our world is because of: authority figures that lead and encourage these killers, the ethnic tension between folk, and the propaganda that is fed to everyone to make them believe that slaughtering them is the right thing to do. The authority involved in these genocides inspire these events to occur by convincing the killers that they are not the ones taking fault for their actions. One way that the authority can manipulate these people, are by taking advantage of the ethnic tension that is between the groups of people. That ethnic tension is usually the result of propaganda that is fed to at least one side, and with enough propaganda, it is very easy to cause a mass-hysteria and make them believe a certain way. It is important for the reader to learn why this heinous act occurs, so they can spread their knowledge and be able to identify when and where a leader is trying to hypnotize the people into slaughtering thousands of people; they can then put an end to something before it ever takes place.

Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of an ethnic, racial, religious or national group that has brought many losses for human population through the whole history of the world. First cases of genocide had such reasons as territorial, competing and religious arguments. For instance, one of the first genocides is thought to be the Roman destruction of Carthage in 146 BCE that occurred due to religious reason and the competitiveness of these two superpowers. The history has seen many cases of genocide, but this social problem especially spread worldwide during the twentieth century which was even claimed to be the “century of genocide”.

While a variety of choices culminated in the 1994 genocide, the Clinton administration, when confronted by the facts, chose not to stop the fight (Kohen 1). In class, we discuss that genocide is defined as acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or part, a national, ethical, racial or religious group. Written by Nicole Winfield of the Online Global Policy, the United Nations released a report assessing United Nation’s involvement in Rwanda. The release said the UN and its member states failed Rwanda in deplorable ways in 1994, ignoring evidence that a genocide was planned, refusing to act once it was underway and finally abandoning the Rwandan people when they most needed protection (Winfield 1). In Hotel Rwanda, I believe that racism played a role in the international community’s failure to act to stop the genocide, as the UN colonel says.

In the UNSC’s article 51, individual and collective self-defense can be authorized by the UNSC under the framework of collective security. However, genocide is never justifiable in the eyes of the UN. Perhaps the most distinguishing feature between war and genocide is the disproportionally ability of those involved to fight back. Within war there is a certain level of understanding that those engaging in the conflict will have an ability to engage in battle. However, historically in genocides the effected groups have had little to no ability to proportionately fight against their attackers.
