perspective.

"For nearly half a century – almost as long as the United Nations has
been in existence – the General Assembly has recognized the need to
establish such a court to prosecute and punish persons responsible for
crimes such as genocide. Many thought...that the horrors of the Second
World War – the camps, the cruelty, the exterminations, the Holocaust –
could never happen again. And yet they have. In Cambodia, in Bosnia
and Herzegovina, in Rwanda. Our time – this decade even – has
shown us that man’s capacity for evil knows no limits. Genocide...is
now a word of our time, too, a heinous reality that calls for a historic
response".
