Genocide thrives when the world averts its eyes, and history is repeating before us. When we prevent or put an end to genocide, we honour the victims of past genocides and, in doing so, keep their memory alive. We draw a clear line between reasonable human behaviour and our capacity to inflict unimaginable violence on others. In doing so, we help ensure the suffering of the past is not repeated.

Across continents and centuries, Western domination has always achieved by feeding the few and starving the many. The world's scars reflect chronic instability and mass hunger.

Denying the fact that gas chambers existed is not only a manifestation of anti-Semitism and an ideology of hatred; in Poland it is also a crime.

Tuol Sleng and M-13, as well as the execution site Choeung Ek, have been added to UNESCO's World Heritage list, marking a significant acknowledgment of Cambodia's painful history.

Barclays sponsors big sporting events to cover its accountability in funding the war. I think Barclays has had a lot of reputational damage because it's complicit in Israel's genocide in Palestine.
