Stepping back, we might take stock of where we are as a civilized world 16 years after Radovan Karadzic was allowed to exterminate people he found inconvenient.

The UN itself has expressed the fear that in its present form the peacekeeping operation will scarcely be able to protect itself, much less the people of Darfur.
Mia Farrow | Posted 07.01.2008 | Politics
As long as we are more concerned about protecting the interests of governments and businesses than protecting people from needless suffering and death, tragedies like those in Darfur and Chad will continue.

The opposition to the government of Mugabe just called for the African nations to send peacekeepers to Zimbabwe. Given that there is no peace there, the troops are in effect called to impose one.

History will long remember that the UN Security Council has, for five years, failed in the task you have been charged with -- protecting a defenseless population.

Today I briefed the Security Council alongside a growing constituency of human rights activists who spoke truth to power: in Sudan, the credibility of the Security Council is on the line.

Who threw their full support to the International Criminal Court in its attempts to finally bring a measure of justice to Darfur's people? The United States? France? England? Nope.

Yesterday, for once, our candidates agreed: genocide in Darfur must end. And the constituency of conscience concerned about Darfur will hold them to their word.

My generation and our predecessors haven't been responsible caretakers. But you can be. Be resilient. Find friends who have your back. And above all, be a good ancestor. You can. And you must.

I Object! Or is that Subject? This was my first reaction to the common linguistic objectification of sentient beings which has become pervasive in America.

If the media were not distracted by Rev. Wright's controversial remarks, this comment would cause a huge backlash against Clinton.

This week marks a grim and largely unnoticed anniversary. In April 2007, The ICC issued arrest warrants for two men involved in the massive, ongoing atrocities in Darfur, who have yet to be prosecuted.

Many companies -- Coke, General Electric, Panasonic -- have simply remained silent. History will note that 16 Olympic sponsors are silently complicit in the Darfur genocide.
Mia Farrow | Posted 04.21.2008 | Politics
There is a direct connection between this year's Olympic host, China, and the humanitarian catastrophe in Darfur that has been called the first genocide of the 21st century.

I may be giving Power too easy a time here -- but while I agree she is representative of a new breed of crusader. She is also much more than that.

The Obama-Clinton pandering to the Armenian lobby betrays the signature Washington habit of making promises now and thinking about them later.

Samantha Power won the Pulitzer for exposing the Clinton administration's monstrous indifference to genocide. For restating it impolitely on the campaign trail, she gets the boot.

What we learned form the movies: The biggest problem in Baltimore is dancing; the biggest problem in Burma is genocide.

Americans who work on issues like Darfur and genocide prevention have a double opportunity to present their issue campaigns within a larger security strategy that changes our direction in the world.

Divestment would involve organizations withdrawing their assets from the country, which would cripple the Sudanese government's ability to financially sustain the genocide.
