The Persistence of Genocide.

The article examines why genocide persists within the world. The author uses a phrase that was created to condemn the genocide that took place during the Jewish Holocaust to illustrate how allegedly trite anti-genocide rhetoric has become. The paper examines the U.S. National Security Strategy Paper, which was drafted during the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama. It pledges that the nation will strive to prevent mass atrocities and genocide, yet the author attests that this is an empty promise. U.S. humanitarian assistance efforts intended to aid places such as the Darfur region in Sudan are criticized.
