複雑な英雄

Confronting genocide requires more than moral outrage; it demands political pressure and engagement, even with those deemed evil. During the Rwandan genocide, more Americans called Congress about endangered gorillas than about murdered people. A new generation, led by students, is building a movement that forces leaders to pay attention, yet progress remains fragile and incomplete. The story of a UN diplomat who negotiated with dictators reveals the necessity of humility, boldness, and preserving dignity in the face of atrocity.
