Introduction Compact

An international panel on Friday blamed the U.N. Security Council, the United States, France and the Catholic Church for failing to prevent the slaughter of more than 500,000 Rwandans.

The seven-member panel created by the Organization of African Unity called for the international community - especially those countries that failed to prevent or help stock the 1994 genocide - to pay reparations to Rwanda "in the name of both justice and accountability."

Former Canadian ambassador and panel member Stephen Lewis said:

"It's simply beyond belief that because of Somalia hundreds of thousands of Rwandans needlessly lost their lives."

"I don't know how Madeleine Albright lives with it," he continued.

Any thoughts?
