In April 2000 the UN Security Council admitted responsibility for failing to stop the Rwandan genocide.

The Canadian Foreign Minister, Bill Graham, said that 10 years after the genocide the international community had still not learned how to stop such killings from happening again.

"We lack the political will to achieve the necessary agreement on how to put in place the type of measures that will prevent a future Rwanda from happening," he said.

The head of the small UN peacekeeping force in Rwanda at the time, Lieutenant General Romeo Dallaire, said that no-one was interested in saving Rwandans and the bulk of his force was ordered to leave.

He suggested that attitudes now had not changed.

Good clip.
I wonder though what admitting responsibility means?
Are these people, the Security Council, also going to be indicted?
We have a precedent: Nuremberg!
