There are few people who know more about genocide than Canadian Senator Roméo Dallaire. As the Force Commander of the United Nations Mission in Rwanda in 1994, he did his best to protect the country’s Tutsi minority from a rising tide of Hutu hatred.

Over three months, 800,000 Rwandans were hacked to death amidst scenes of medieval-style bloodlust.
