Through the Eyes of Resisters and Rescuers: Embracing the Will to Act
"You already know enough. So do I. It is not knowledge we lack. What is missing is the courage to understand what we know and to draw conclusions." (Lindqvist, 1996)
By trying to save their own lives or committing to protect victims, resisters and rescuers are driven by a genuine 鈥楻esponsibility to Protect鈥�, will to act. Their acts of resistance therefore carry great insight to reflect upon and be inspired by. Drawing from their experience, this Prevention Campaign aims at devoting momentum to engage Canadian decision-makers, civil society and citizens on the issue of genocide and the prevention of crimes against humanity.
