Lieutenant-General (Ret'd) and Senator The Hon. Roméo Dallaire, MIGS Senior Fellow, delivered his annual Senior Fellow's presentation on Jan. 29 in LB-1014. In his lecture, "Preventing Genocide and the Future of Humanity," Dallaire urged countries and governments to find the political will to reexamine current global trends in warfare and work towards eradicating atrocious acts, such as the recruitment of child soldiers.
"We're in an era where we have defence, diplomacy and humanitarianism working together, but there are still frictions," said Dallaire. "We have to ask, 'how do we get them together to create a new multidisciplinary entity that creates a new conceptual base for intervention.'"
"It's an era of enormous possibility. The youth of today can hold the government responsible to act."
