[Historically, the critical factor in obtaining energetic action… whether the requirements for intervention would be harder or easier in the latter case.]
We have an ethical responsibility to examine genocide in its historical context. Personal reflection on the memory of genocide is a critical response to a world of gross human atrocity.

Genocide is the worst consequence – the prohibition of genocide must outweigh political calculations – genocide is the greatest risk on magnitude and probability because it is intentional and potentially universal Harff-Gur 81 [ Northwestern, HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION AS A REMEDY FOR GENOCIDE, 37-41] Contention Three: Never Again The public health approach solves through data collection spreading knowledge about genocide, early warning surveillance and psychological assistance, addressing the long term impacts of genocide
