| Summary: | In Eyewitness to Genocide: The United Nations and Rwanda, Michael Barnett examines two main questions concerning what went wrong within the United Nations’ response to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. First, he identifies the individuals responsible for the proper flow of information and decision-making within the international organization and where they failed to live up to their responsibilities. Second, he inquires into the ethics and practice of an international bureaucracy that made the tragically inadequate response to Rwanda appear to be a rational and tolerable choice by decent individuals. |
