Genocide and America
By Samantha Power

Over the course of the last century, the United States has made modest 
progress in its responses to genocide, the deliberate destruction of 
ethnic, national, or religious groups. The persistence and 
proliferation of dissenters within the US government and human rights 
advocates outside it have made a policy of silence in the face of 
genocide more difficult to sustain. As Serbian president Slobodan 
Milosevic learned, state sovereignty no longer necessarily shields a 
perpetrator of genocide from either military intervention or courtroom 
punishment.
