When Senator and former UN General Romeo Dallaire calls this period in history the crux of a revolutionary moment – people listen.
The Concordia-based Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies invited Dallaire to speak at a conference last Thursday and Friday on the media’s role in halting mass atrocities. Other panelists included former Prime Minister Paul Martin and Ric MacInnes Rae of the CBC radio program Dispatches.
